I am wondering why do we need annotations/XDoclet
comments for trivial cases?
Let me explain:
- Firstly, if there is an abstract method in the
page/component class it means that the method is for
Tapestry to enhance;
- Secondly the method signature specifies type of
object we need;
If the method has no persistence parameters defined as
annotation or in xml config then those two pieces of
information are enough to inject proper object in the
majority of cases. If there is an ambiguity then
Tapestry may demand a clarification via annotations or
XML config.
Lets look at the common stuff:
@InjectObject("service:tapestry.globals.WebRequest")
public abstract WebRequest getWebRequest();
@InjectObject("service:tapestry.globals.ServletContext")
public abstract ServletContext getServletContext();
Is there any ambiguity in what we want to inject? I do
not think so.
I am pretty sure that having just abstract methods in
the page/component class should be enough for Tapestry
to inject necessary objects:
public abstract WebRequest getWebRequest();
public abstract ServletContext getServletContext();
Any comments Howard?
