Generating Ruby on Rails friendly code
--------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-474
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compiler (Ruby)
Reporter: Dirk Breuer
Attachments: t_rb_generator.cc.patch
As already quoted in issue THRIFT-468 we are trying to integrate Thrift as our
RPC solution into Rails applications. Since Rails uses its own class loading
mechanism with {{require_dependency}} there should be no regular require within
your Rails application (The mechanism requires automatically any Constant you
call). I extended the Thrift Ruby generator with a {{rails}} option to use
{{require_dependency}} instead of {{require}}. In addition to this I basically
changed the generated folder structure. Like in Java for instance you should
nest namespaced classes in a directory structure which represent that
namespace. Due to this is valid even for non-Rails related code I integrated
this feature without any switch. But it is especially relevant for Rails,
because its auto class loading mechanism expects to find a namespaced class
under an appropriate directory layout within the load path.
I'm not a C++ guy so I would be really thankful if you could give me some
useful feedback to this patch.
