Fluent Configuration

The FluentConfigurator uses a the Fluent Interface style as described by Martin Fowler.

To wire up the configuration programmatically rather than having to use dwr.xml, you'll need to:

• Create a concrete implementation of org.directwebremoting.fluent.FluentConfigurator which implements the configure() method.
• Add an init param 'customConfigurator' to the DWR servlet in web.xml to point at your new class.

The implementation of configure() will look something like this:

public void configure() {
   withConverterType("dog", "com.yourcompany.beans.Dog");
   withCreatorType("ejb", "com.yourcompany.dwr.creator.EJBCreator");
   withCreator("new", "ApartmentDAO")
       .addParam("scope", session)
       .addParam("class", "com.yourcompany.dao.ApartmentDAO")
       .exclude("saveApartment")
       .withAuth("method", "role");
   withCreator("struts", "DogDAO")
       .addParam("clas", "com.yourcompany.dao.DogDAO")
       .include("getDog")
       .include("getColor");
   withConverter("dog", "*.Dog")
       .addParam("name", "value");
   withSignature()
       .addLine("import java.util.List;")
       .addLine("import com.example.Check;")
       .addLine("Check.setLotteryResults(List<Integer> nos);");
}

Please see the dwr.xml configuration page for more information on how to configure creators and converters.

DWR's fluent configurator was originally contributed by Aaron Johnson and is part of the dwr-noncla.jar.
