Abstract
Alternate way to integrate Groovy in a Java-Application using Spring, without the usage of <lang:groovy/>-Tags.
Advantages
- Works with Spring-AOP
- You can use other Groovy-Classes e.g. internal datatypes, in your Beans without the need to inject them.
Example
Java Code that's create the App-Context
... private GenericApplicationContext createAppContext(String path) { GenericApplicationContext ctx = new GenericApplicationContext(); GroovyClassLoader defaultClassLoader = new GroovyClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader()); XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(ctx); reader.setBeanClassLoader(defaultClassLoader); reader.loadBeanDefinitions(path); ctx.refresh(); return ctx; } ...
Sample beans.xml
<bean id="tm" class="ticketing.bo.impl.TicketManagerImpl"/>
ticketing/bo/impl/TicketAssemblerImpl.groovy
class TicketAssemblerImpl implements IBaseAssembler {
...
}
Hopefully that is helpful...
