I'm porting my application to the refactored trunk today, and things are
going pretty well. James, thanks for the new doc!
One minor nit: Many of the collections (Workspaces, Filters) don't have
standard getters and setters. That makes them hard to configure in
Spring without using custom parsers or property editors. I discovered
this when I decided to try to implement the new Filter interface and
discovered that Dan's DefaultProviderDefinitionParser doesn't support
adding Filters. I also found that I couldn't use Spring's regular XML
configuration because there is no setFilters method on AbstractProvider.
For that matter, I can't even configure a DefaultProvider without using
Dan's parser because I can't add my workspaces either. I may have to
resort to writing configuration code! :-)
One other minor issue with the Spring parser stuff: The <a:workspace/>
element works with a nested bean element, but if I use a <ref bean=""/>
it blows up. I prefer to do it that way so I can use the same bean
definition in my test code.
I can log Jira issues on these if you prefer.
Thanks,
Jim
