Hi all, First of all, and since this is my first posting to this list, I want to thank everyone who helped in creating and maintaining web.py. I really like its non-intrusive and lightweight approach to solving my daily web app problems. It's great :)
Now while using it I've stumbled upon a small, let's call it inconvenience. I usually use the class dispatching mechanism that instantiates some class for a matching request and calls a method depending on the request method (GET or POST or HEAD). In these instances I usually want to use a db connection, service, auth manager or whatever. My question is, how one would inject those dependencies into the generated instances. To elaborate a little more: The dependencies could of course be instantiated in the default constructor of the class or in the GET/POST methods itself. But that makes testing the handlers at least more difficult. I surely know several ways around this problem, which mostly include global variables of sorts (globals, registries or whatever), but they all do not seem very elegant. So how would you go about injecting dependencies into your handler instances (or don't you?)? Thanks for your suggestions - Ole. -- Ole Trenner <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
