I have written a service that takes, as a property, a class.
My hivemodule.xml looks like:
<service-point id="ActivityFactory"
interface="org.apache.hivemind.lib.BeanFactory">
<invoke-factory service-id="hivemind.BuilderFactory">
<construct
class="com.cowww.commons.hivemind.ServiceBeanFactory"
messages-property="messages" log-property="log">
<set property="vendClass"
value="com.cowww.legacy.workflow.Activity"/>
</construct>
</invoke-factory>
</service-point>
Unfortunaley, SmartTranslator does not know how to generate a Class from
a String. Considering the fact that HiveMind has a Class Translator,
wouldn't it be a good thing for SmartTranslator to try and utilize that
as well as those types that a PropertyEditor exists for? Alternatively,
maybe we need to write one for Class and add it.
The reason I think it is important is consistency. You can enter a
string into one part of the configuration and get a class from it, but
that will not work in other parts.
I may try to write the PropertyEditor or change to SmartTranslator
myself (or even BuilderFactory - add a translator attribute), but I was
just wondering what the best approach would be (and for validation ;-) )
