org.apache.shale.tiger.view.package.html Maven / Gradle / Ivy
This package contains Java SE 5 annotations that support the
functionality of classes that implement org.apache.shale.view.ViewController
to classes that choose not to implement this interface. Instead, any Java class
can be annotated with the View annotation, indicating
that instances of this class should receive ViewController type
services. Within such a class, you can annotate public methods (which have a
return type of void, and take zero parameters) with the following annotations.
These methods will receive event callbacks that correspond to the similarly named
method signature on the ViewController interface.
A typical bean class using these annotations might look like this:
// Does not have to implement ViewController
@View public class MyBean {
// Name your init() method whatever you want
@Init public void myInit() { ... }
}
In addition, the class level annotations Application,
Request, and Session mark beans that should
be treated as if they extended AbstractApplicationBean,
AbstractRequestBean, or AbstractSessionBean
respectively, even if they do not. Such beans will have lifecycle event
callbacks performed on methods that are marked with the corresponding
method level annotation.
API STATUS: Experimental.
IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: Implemented, but only lightly tested.
