org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.util
Class AbstractEntityProvider

java.lang.Object
  org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.util.AbstractEntityProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

EntityProvider, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

public abstract class AbstractEntityProvider
extends Object
implements EntityProvider, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean

WARNING: Requires Spring 1.2.8 or newer libraries in the classpath
Makes it easier to write EntityProviders in webapps
A class to extend that gets rid of some of the redundant code that has to be written over and over, causes this provider to be registered when it is created and unregistered when it is destroyed, also includes the DeveloperHelperService as a protected variable, pairs with the parent bean (org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.entityprovider.AbstractEntityProvider)
Create your spring bean like so (class is your provider, set whatever properties you are using):

<bean parent="org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.entityprovider.AbstractEntityProvider" class="org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.entitywebapp.WebappEntityProvider"> <property name="dao" ref="MemoryDao" /> </bean>
