Drew, 1// There's a lot of good documentation in the API docs: http://rifers.org/docs/api/com/uwyn/rife/rep/package-summary.html
From the docs page: "A Participant is basically a service that needs
to be initialized before it can return objects that correspond to specified identification keys." 2// You can also use this page from the old docs: http://rifers.org/docs/usersguide/ch06s01.html 3// The image on this page normally, also, serves as a good overview of the rife's structure for me: http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/IoC+properties+support+inside+the+repository Simply extend BlockingParticipant or SingleObjectParticipant to create your own custom participants, and then add them to your participants.xml file in your repository. For instance, in the petstore app i am currently working on, I have a PopulateParticipant, that uses some custom Comma sep vals (CSV) extractor classes I have written to pull data from text files to be inserted in the test database. I have attached that to give you an idea. I mentioned participants briefly here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1163267747129711638&q=okyere&pl=true HTH Cheers, Emmanuel On 4/28/06, Drew Kutcharian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Everyone, I would like to know where I can find more detailed information about RIFE's Participants. I would like to know what they exactly do, how is their lifecycle being managed, and how can I write a custom one. The reason is that I like to be able to inject my Service (Business Logic) layer objects into RIFE's elements. (ie use Spring to manage my Backend beans and then use the custom Participant to inject those backend beans into RIFE's elements after Spring is done with wiring them) (also, I want to use the participant to start the Spring container before launching the webapp) I looked into SpringWebParticipant, but I'm not sure if that's what I need to use. The documentation wasn't very detailed. Thanks, Drew _______________________________________________ Rife-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
