We have created a BaseEntity with the following fields,
- primary key - version - date I have created an ApplicationEntityLocator to get the getID, getVersion, find(Entity) instead of writing them on each entity object. public class EntityLocator extends Locator<BaseEntity, Long> { @Override public BaseEntity create(Class<? extends BaseEntity> clazz) { try { return clazz.newInstance(); } catch (InstantiationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalAccessException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } @Override public BaseEntity find(Class<? extends BaseEntity> clazz, Long id) { return null; } @Override public Class<BaseEntity> getDomainType() { return BaseEntity.class; } @Override public Long getId(BaseEntity domainObject) { return domainObject.getPrimaryKey(); } @Override public Class<Long> getIdType() { return Long.class; } @Override public Object getVersion(BaseEntity domainObject) { return domainObject.getEntityVersion(); } } I am not sure of how to use the existing Spring service layer to implement the find method on the EntityLocator. How do i locate the service implementation from inside EntityLocator, can i do the following in the find method HttpServletRequest request = RequestFactoryServlet.getThreadLocalRequest(); ApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(request.getSession() .getServletContext()); context.getBean(clazz).find(id); is this a good approach? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
