public class AutowiringTilesRequestProcessor
extends TilesRequestProcessor

Subclass of Struts's TilesRequestProcessor that autowires Struts Actions with Spring beans defined in ContextLoaderPlugIn's WebApplicationContext or - in case of general service layer beans - in the root WebApplicationContext.

Behaves like AutowiringRequestProcessor, but also provides the Tiles functionality of the original TilesRequestProcessor. As there's just a single central class to customize in Struts, we have to provide another subclass here, covering both the Tiles and the Spring delegation aspect.

The default implementation delegates to the DelegatingActionUtils class as fas as possible, to reuse as much code as possible despite the need to provide two RequestProcessor subclasses. If you need to subclass yet another RequestProcessor, take this class as a template, delegating to DelegatingActionUtils just like it.

Method Detail

init

public void init(ActionServlet actionServlet,
                 ModuleConfig moduleConfig)
          throws ServletException

Overrides:

init in class TilesRequestProcessor

Throws:

ServletException

initWebApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ActionServlet actionServlet,
                                                          ModuleConfig moduleConfig)
                                                   throws IllegalStateException

Fetch ContextLoaderPlugIn's WebApplicationContext from the ServletContext, falling back to the root WebApplicationContext. This context is supposed to contain the service layer beans to wire the Struts Actions with.

Parameters:

actionServlet - the associated ActionServlet

moduleConfig - the associated ModuleConfig

Returns:

the WebApplicationContext

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no WebApplicationContext could be found

initAutowireMode

protected int initAutowireMode(ActionServlet actionServlet,
                               ModuleConfig moduleConfig)

Determine the autowire mode to use for wiring Struts Actions.

The default implementation checks the "autowire" init-param of the Struts ActionServlet, falling back to "AUTOWIRE_BY_TYPE" as default.

Parameters:

actionServlet - the associated ActionServlet

moduleConfig - the associated ModuleConfig

Returns:

the autowire mode to use

initDependencyCheck

protected boolean initDependencyCheck(ActionServlet actionServlet,
                                      ModuleConfig moduleConfig)

Determine whether to apply a dependency check after wiring Struts Actions.

The default implementation checks the "dependencyCheck" init-param of the Struts ActionServlet, falling back to no dependency check as default.

Parameters:

actionServlet - the associated ActionServlet

moduleConfig - the associated ModuleConfig

Returns:

whether to enforce a dependency check or not

See Also:

DelegatingActionUtils.getDependencyCheck(org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet), AutowireCapableBeanFactory.autowireBeanProperties(java.lang.Object, int, boolean)

getWebApplicationContext

protected final WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext()

Return the current Spring WebApplicationContext.

getAutowireMode

protected final int getAutowireMode()

Return the autowire mode to use for wiring Struts Actions.

getDependencyCheck

protected final boolean getDependencyCheck()

Return whether to apply a dependency check after wiring Struts Actions.

processActionCreate

protected Action processActionCreate(HttpServletRequest request,
                                     HttpServletResponse response,
                                     ActionMapping mapping)
                              throws IOException

Extend the base class method to autowire each created Action instance.

Overrides:

processActionCreate in class RequestProcessor

Throws:

IOException
