Ok here's my problem. I want to 10 different model classes to inherit from
the same base class. And be able to use the base classes " : Exported "
methods.
so my current set up was.
MyApp::CarLoan
use base qw(Maypole::Model::CDBI);
MyApp::MortgageLoan
use base qw(Maypole::Model::CDBI);
MyApp::PersonalLoan
use base qw(Maypole::Model::CDBI);
Ok so I figured all these classes have the same basic funtions let me pull
that out.
so I tried to make an outside package that wasn't in the MyApp namespace. I
just wanted to create a package that wasn't in the MyApp namespace. I'm
thinking this is my first mistake. (I did this becuase ::MyApp:Loan is a
table in my database that holds data on all the loans, not specific to any
one type.)
MyPackage::Loan
use base qw(Maypole::Model::CDBI);
sub apr :Exported {
my ($class, $r) = @;
# &clean_classs_name routine just seperates "MyApp::ModelClass" into
"MyApp" and "ModelClass" and
# returns "ModelClass".
my $template = "&clean_class_name($class)" . "/apr";
$r->template($template); # so the template is "ModelClass/tmp" i.e
"CarLoan/tmp"
}
sub balance :Exported {...}
.....
And then I ...
MyApp::CarLoan
use base qw(MyPackage::Loan)
When I try to use the url I like http://~/myapp/CarLoan/apr
is_public failed . action is apr. self is MyApp::CarLoan at /usr/local/
lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Maypole/Model/Base.pm line 206, <GEN8> line 3.
So what I want to do is basically create a base model class that my other
model classes can inherit from.
Or lets say I just wanted to inherit from an exisiting class. Is there a way
to have the existing functions :Exported without writing fowarding functions
for all of them?
So ..
MyApp::CarLoan
use base qw(M::M::CDBI Finance:::Loan);
then in a template
[% use carloan = Class(MyApp::CarLoan) %]
[% carloan.getmonthlypayments%]
or would I have to write some type of accessor for getmonthlypayments
sub getmonthlypayments :Exported {
my $class = shift;
$class->getmonthlypayments;
}
Hopefully you guys understand what I'm getting at. I'm not exactly a
programmer. So this is kicking my butt.
Thanks,
Chris
