Spring MVC - Register New Controllers programatically [message #987410] Mon, 26 November 2012 14:04 Go to next message

Hi all. Im working on a project that I will need to deploy new webservices endpoints dinamically, and also, redeploy this webservices in version updates, etc.

I'm thinking in deploy this webservices (Simple controllers acting as restful) as bundles. So, my idea is write a central Web Bundle, and the endpoints that will only have controllers, will consume services from the OSGi context, ant will be attached to this web bundle context.

Can I do something like that? How can I register and unregister the controllers programatically under the Spring front servlet controller (org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet) that will be created on the WebBundle?

Any ideas?
Thanks!

You might be better off with snaps. Where each snap is a mini web-app that shares host servlet context and session. Snaps can be deployed and undeployed without impacting host application. Otherwise you are looking a some custom coding.

Hi Dmitry! Thanks by your help!

How can snaps run with Spring MVC? In that case, I can only have one Dispatcher Servlet right?
My major problem, is that I need to register and unregister controllers.

The only way I found to implement it, is adding the controllers to the WebBundle application context, and Subclass DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping, to invoke a protected method that searches for Controllers on the Context.

To unregister, I need to unregister the Controllers from context, refresh.

I dont like this approach Smile.

Is Virgo Snaps aware of SpringMVC, and can it automate discovery of new controllers to the main Dispatcher servlet? Or I can create one dispatcher per snap, as totally independent application?

Sorry by the ammount of questions Smile!

You can assign a WebapplicationContext to the dispatcher servlet in the host and in each snap

No, you can use many Dispatcher Servlets (at least withtin the snaps)

Or I can create one dispatcher per snap, as totally independent application?

That you can. In each snap you can use Spring MVC to implement the services. When deploying a snap the services are available under
a suburl of the host-url. The suburl is provided with the manifest of the bundle.

What Markus said.

Snap can be viewed as a stand alone web-app and host as a proxy to that web-app.
As a full web-app, snap can do all the spring-mvc stuff. There are few limitations, i.e. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=371379

Each snap has an independent lifecycle, that is it can be deployed and undeployed independent of host app. This is where you get the dynamics that you are looking for.

Dmitry and Markus. Thanks by your help! Virgo Snaps is really the best choice. Its working fine now. Restful services is working. Now I will try to mix some SOAP Smile
