I don't know if it the right place ... but I am
looking for something similar to beans customizer, except that I would like to edit/customize my beans through an HTML
interface.
To be more concrete, I would like to customize a bean (or any
java object) through an HTML forms in a generic way.
In the simplest way, we could imagine somthing like this with
a BeanServlet
The BeanServlet could work like
this:
- take the bean class as paramater
(BeanServlet?bean=className&todo=getForm)
- get the BeanInfo object, and the property
editors
- return a form where input fields such as
<input name=propertyname
value="getAsText() method of the
propertyeditors">
On the return way, we can simply get string values and use
setAsText()
(BeanServlet?bean=className&todo=update&property1=value1&
....)
This looks simple for simple bean; But what
happen when the property does not support simple get/setAsText
What could be the conterpart
of getCustomEditor() and the component ?
it could be html string elements to edit the property (such as
radio button, ...) getCustomEditor() could return an ECS representing this
component.
We can extend this
subject to browsing object database with servlet (but in a way that could be
customized)
Once again I am sure that this subject has
already been addressed somewhere .. sorry for that (but I am newbie in servlet
and beans)
Please could tell me where I can find more
information on this subject: that is "Browsing Java Objects with
HTML"
