GUICELET
A MVC web framework that uses Google Guice for constructor depenency
injection of controllers, faciliating reuse by carefully separating URL
binding from depenency injected controllers from views.

MOTIVATION
- URL binding via modules, so that controllers can be used in different
applications, bound to different paths.
- Wanted to use Guice for constructor injection, but constructor
injection did not integrate well into my current framework of choice,
Stripes.
I'd created a URL binding library for Stripes that I named Dovetail.
This
URL binding library plus Guice seemed to suggest a new MVC
framework.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
GuiceletFilter must:
- Be a team player in any Servlet environment.
- Provide constructor injection of services into controllers.
- Provide a way for services to cleanup after a request and at shutdown.
- Provide session and request Guice scopes.
- Separate controllers and views into a client/server relationship.
- Provide a file upload handling strategy.
- Provide an optional request parameter to bean mapping strategy.
- Provide an optional validation strategy.
Guiclets are neat because:
- Guice builds everything using any flavor of injection.
- Dovetail URL binding can match many different URL paths, so you can
bind muliptle URLs to a single controller.
- You can bind based on request parameters and request method for more
RESTful strategies.
- Guicelets participate in the Filter chain like any other Filter, so
you use Dovetail bindings to apply Filters.
- You can create any sort of rendering strategy you like and bind it
into your Guilcelet Module, PDF using iText, XML using JiBX, etc.
HACKING
Guiclet builds form the Maven POM. A Maven generated Eclipse IDE
environment is provided. You can use Maven to generate an environment
for your IDE.
Not yet in use anywhere. Feedback welcome.
