The important thing to keep in mind is that the "object" parameter to the "encoder" element is a hivemind reference, which means it can be a reference to another hivemind service, or to a spring service. <encoder id="foo" object="service:FooHivemindServiceThatImplementsServiceEncoder"/> or <encoder id="bar" object="spring:BarSpringBeanThatImplementsServiceEncoder"/>
You can configure those beans in the usual way. My guess at what you want is (using your example class names): <service-point id="ViewGeographyEncoder" interface="org.apache.tapestry.engine.ServiceEncoder"> <invoke-factory> <construct class="my.fully.qualified.class.Encoder"> <set property="pageName" value="foo/Bar" /> <set property="url" value="/listings" /> <set-object property="utilities" value="spring:utils" /> </construct> </invoke-factory> </service-point> <contribution configuration-id="tapestry.url.ServiceEncoders"> <encoder id="viewgeographyencoder" object="service:ViewGeographyEncoder" /> </contribution> jeff ________________________________ From: Josh Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 10/20/2006 7:27 PM To: Tapestry users Subject: urgent: access a spring bean from a service encoder? Hi all, What's the best way to get access to a spring bean setup using the standard context from isnide a service encoder? I have the following (well, something like it: obviously the names have been changed to protect the innocent..) <encoder id="viewgeographyencoder" object="instance: my.fully.qualified.class.Encoder ,pageName=foo/Bar,url=/listings,utilities=spring:utils"/> Whcih doesn't yeild anything except stack traces. What's the correct way to do this? Thanks in advance for any help, Josh
