[gwt-contrib] RequestFactoryServlet
@Bobv
One thing about RequestFactoryServlet is that it is somewhat difficult to
setup DI from containers such as Spring. I've been working on getting Spring
wired into the request factory framework and there are a bunch of examples,
but they all are pretty ugly. I think I've found a fairly clean solution,
and it only involves a minimal change to RequestFactoryServlet to
accomplish.
If we added ServletContext to a ThreadLocal, the same way we add HttpRequest
and HttpResponse, then it becomes trivial to get the servlet context out of
the request factory.
Then creating your Spring locator can look like :
public class SpringServiceLocator implements ServiceLocator {
public Object getInstance(Class? arg0) {
ApplicationContext ctx =
WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(SpringRequestFactoryServlet.getThreadLocalServletContext().get());
return ctx.getBean(arg0);
}
}
and with Spring 3, everything should roll together nicely (I'm in the middle
of working this out, but this should work).
I'm will implement this for my project. My question is, Does it makes sense
to add the ServletContext into RequestFactoryServlet inside GWT proper? If
so, I can submit a patch for you.

Does it makes sense to add the ServletContext into RequestFactoryServlet inside GWT proper? If so, I can submit a patch for you. That sounds like a very clean approach. When you submit the patch, please create an issue in the GWT issue tracker with the URL of the code review. -- Bob Vawter Google Web Toolkit Team -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors

Created the issue as well and posted a link to the review. Thanks! http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1448804/ http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list?cursor=6393updated=6393ts=1306206518 -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
Re: [gwt-contrib] RequestFactoryServlet
Oh and I did test this to make sure it would with Spring. If you're interested here is a link to my test project. https://github.com/larsenje/SpringRequestFactoryExample -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
[gwt-contrib] RequestFactoryServlet and Record are a bit limiting
RequestFactoryServlet assumes static methods and data binding is available to Record that represents an entity (id and version) which is not always the case, isn't this a bit limiting it seems to be only tailored to be used with ROO. Some people will still want to use controller/service classes and bind to normal beans. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors

Please read the design wave to see our plan to fix this. https://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/googlewave.com/w+WU4iAICkI On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 1:57 AM, Yazan qet...@gmail.com wrote: RequestFactoryServlet assumes static methods and data binding is available to Record that represents an entity (id and version) which is not always the case, isn't this a bit limiting it seems to be only tailored to be used with ROO.
