We don't have this, but I plan on doing a lot more Spring integration
after the next release. I suppose this is part of their AOP support.
The closest that we currently have is something similar as Spring's
transactional template methods: http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/
Chainable+transactions
Whatever you do, please leave RIFE as a monolithic framework and do
not
start branching all over the place. RIFE has convinced me by its
simplicity -- one JAR, one declaration in web.xml and that is it.
Yes, these would be optional integrations for people that do already
use Spring and would like to use RIFE alongside their current
codebase. RIFE will always be one jar.
Actually I was less talking about the syntax, but more about a
centralized point of declaration. If your entire data and logic
flow is
specified in a site-structure, you almost instantly have an
overview of
how your application behaves and which components are accessible.
Without this centralized declaration you have to search through your
entire code code-base to find where your area of interest is
located.
Geert, I am not trying to be negative, but when I first looked at
RIFE,
it reminded me of FuseActions (ColdFusion anyone?). Except that
FuseActions was a pattern more than anything else. Still it has worked
for ages and still works.
I consider that a good thing :-)
Any familiarity makes it easier for people to adopt RIFE.
Coool! I'm actively looking into making X-develop more
intelligent for
RIFE and provide code hyper-linking in between files. I just spent 2
weeks with Eclipse exclusively to try it out thoroughly and I
switched
back to X-develop today.
I tried X-Develop, but did not like it. But then, I don't like Eclipse
or IDEA either. I think the choice of IDE is very personal and
there is
no real good/bad.
