I've added a preliminary version of a TilesContext interface and
refactored the core API to use it. The interface is a first attempt
at extracting the Servlet API dependencies. Here are some more
details:
I debated about whether to model TilesContext after Commons-Chain's
WebContext or JSF's ExternalContext. WebContext seemed a bit more
applicable so I started with a very similar interface. I then added
a few more methods mostly modeled after ExternalContext. I created a
factory and a Servlet-based implementation just to get the tests to
pass. I suspect the factory and the way it's being used to change
significantly after I look further at the way Faces and Chain use
their context classes in various environments. Note that I ran out
of time before I had a chance to look at these other examples, so if
you look at what I just committed and inherently see a better way,
please share.
I have not tested this at all other than the provided unit tests, so
it probably doesn't work :-) I'm just trying to push something
through before I have to take off for the weekend so some progress is
being made. I'd love it if some others would look at my most recent
commit and give me some advice on how to improve it. Starting next
week I hope to be able to flesh this all out further.
This is the last refactoring step that is needed before the
Standalone Tiles API will be stable. Yippeeeee! If I don't respond
to any emails for a while it's because I'm going out of town for the
weekend, but I'll check back in on Monday.
