[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-370?page=comments#action_12440971 ] Chris Howe commented on OFBIZ-370: ----------------------------------
The difference with servicedefs is that they are globally unique and therefore their name within the community project is unique. Controller request and view maps are only webapp unique and therefore not unique within the community project. > Allow splitting of controller.xml > --------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-370 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-370 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: framework > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Environment: Linux, java-sun-1.5 > Reporter: Peter Goron > Priority: Minor > Attachments: site-conf-include.patch > > > Controller.xml files become bigger and bigger and are complex to read. That > made a long time I was looking for a way to split these files and I finally > digged into ofbiz code to see how it can be implemented. > What a surprise to see that this feature is already present in Ofbiz but is > not activated ! > You can test to insert <include file="another-controller.xml"/> in an > existing controller.xml. You should see a validation error because include > element is not declared in xsd but it does not prevent inclusion mechanism to > run. > However there is good chance you also obtain an exception report because it > doesn't find the file you try to include. To be consistent with other places > in ofbiz, I've slightly modified inclusion mechanism to use FlexibleResolver > (see attached patch, ex: <include > location="component://component/webapp/component/WEB-INF/another-controller.xml"/>) > I hope you will be as enthousiast as me about this feature. I think it opens > nice perspectives : > - the possibility to share common request-map & view-map (login, logout, > setLocale, Lookups, etc) > - the possibility to split a big controller.xml by functional subdomain (like > for servicedef) > Peter > PS: I'm not sure if it's related to OFBIZ-77 issue -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
