Re: Restlet and DAO
Hi Nico, Here is the process: - create a subclass of ConnectorService - override the afterSend(Representation) method - test the representation instance against your base MyRepresentation class - cast it to your MyRepresentation class and invoke your commit/rollaback logic I would however recommend to use the ServerResource#onSent callback mechanism instead as it will be easier to use, especially if you rely on automatic bean - representation conversion and Restlet annotations. Best regards, Jerome 2010/4/28 Nico Van Cleemput nico.vancleem...@gmail.com Hi Jerome Thanks for your pointers. If it isn't obvious, I'm quite new to this framework (and actually I'm just an amateur who is also new to web applications ;-)). I also need to apologize, because after searching a bit more I noticed that there was already a similar question in this list about a year ago. I do have a follow-up question. Is there somewhere some example code on how this could be achieved? More specific I'm struggling with the following: if I create my DAO and start the transaction in doInit() of UniformResource, then how do I get a reference to it in ConnectorService, so I can commit or rollback in afterSend? Just let me finish by giving you some more praise. ;-) The framework looks really good, but at the moment it still a bit opaque. I'm looking forward your In Action book and hope that you describe somewhere the steps that are taken from when a request enters the frameworks to when the response leaves, because I still have the feeling I'm missing a lot of the details. (or if you already have a blogpost or something like that describing that in detail, you may always point me in the right direction ;)) Kind regards, Nico jlouvel wrote: Hi Nico, UniformResource has two methods, doInit() and doRelease() that can be used for this.

Restlet and DAO
Hi I have a question about how to inject my DAO. I looked around a bit (probably not long enough), and my guess at this point would be that I implement a filter which places the DAO in the attributes of the Request object. Is this the correct modus operandi? What about security? I'm not very keen on putting the DAO in a map where 'everybody' kan retrieve it. kind regards, Nico -- View this message in context: http://restlet-discuss.1400322.n2.nabble.com/Restlet-and-DAO-tp4962381p4962381.html Sent from the Restlet Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=2595900
Re: Restlet and DAO
Hi Nico, How about injecting your DAO on a BaseResource class and extending this in every resource? -- View this message in context: http://restlet-discuss.1400322.n2.nabble.com/Restlet-and-DAO-tp4962381p4962395.html Sent from the Restlet Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=2595901
Re: Restlet and DAO
Yes, I had thought about that, but a filter has a beforeHandle() and a afterHandle() method, so I can easily set up a transaction before the handling and easily perform a commit or a rollback in after the handling. If I would use a BaseResource I would need to add these calls for each extending class, or are there provisions for such a use? Although thinking it through again at this moment, I probably need to overwrite the handle() method in ServerResource to obtain this behaviour?
