I can see that there has already been some discussion as how
to implement this and it seems to appear from time to time on the mailing
list. I did notice that there was a problem found “in the current
chaining mechanism” with opensymphony – I am not familiar with
that, could someone elaborate? Is there still interest for this as a
feature? How are people that would use it getting around it now? Is
there someplace that I could read what the “current” spec for this
is? OK, now for the introduction, I use Maverick.NET and developed
Opt-NVelocity for it. While I am not actually interested (today) in using
the java version, I think I recall a desire to keep the 2 projects somewhat in
sync. I am interested in controller chaining as I am unhappy with my
current solution of extending a base controller for each possible chained
controller. This does work and works pretty well most of the time, until
you are limited by single inheritance. I am in the middle of a large
project that I think chaining could be a big help in and I figure that I can
spend time working around what I think I want and actually implementing what I
want. Anyway, sorry to bother the Java list, but wanted to get the
opinion here first. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Cort |
