FYI: This is a really nice framework - I'm enjoying it a lot. :)
I have a ResourceBase class that I use to start and commit my database
transactions, and I was using doInit and doRelease to handle that, but
I didn't want to risk other developers accidentally replacing them.
I stole an idea from the Stripes framework and implemented it in my
project like this:
I override doInit() like this:
@Override
protected void doInit() throws ResourceException {
for (Method m : getClass().getMethods()) {
if (null != m.getAnnotation(Before.class)) {
try {
m.invoke(this);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ResourceException(e);
}
}
}
}
My doRelease is almost identical, except for it looks for an @After annotation.
I am telling my developers to use @Before instead of doInit() and
@After instead of doRelease().
Is there a reason that those aren't annotations in the framework?
