Spring integration

[Hoby]

Hi,
Is it possible to inject Spring bean (back-end service) in Datafx Controller. Our back-end use Spring/Mybatis and we have Spring/Javafx in the front. Now we'd like to use Datafx Flow in the front but I'm not sure if it is possible.

Thanks
Hoby

Hi,

I don't know why this shouldn't be possible :)

Maybe you can post an example and we can discuss the integration.

OK. 

I added a Spring Service to your datafx-tutorial-5 project (see code below) and it works fine when I use applicationContext.getBean spring method to get bean.

@FXMLController("wizardView1.fxml")

public class WizardView1Controller {

@FXML

private Label view1Label;

MessageService service;

@PostConstruct

public void init() {

service = SpringContext.getApplicationContext().getBean(MessageService.class);

view1Label.setText(service.getMessage());

}

}

@Service

public class MessageService {

public String getMessage() {

return "message";

}

}

wizardView1.fxml

<Label fx:id="view1Label"  xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">

    <font>

        <Font size="24.0"/>

    </font>

</Label>

Have you an idea how do I do if I want to use annotation @Autowired MessageService now.

Thanks

Hi,

Actually this isn't supported. But it is no problem to add the support :)

DataFX contains a PlugIn API that used SPI to integrate new Annotations to inject data to the controller.

Please do the following: create an issue at https://bitbucket.org/datafx/datafx/ and post the example in the issue. Then I will try to create a Spring injection plugin the next weeks. If you want to do this on your own you can do the following:

create a custom implementation of https://bitbucket.org/datafx/datafx/src/e208f84cd5f479f3e779376113ab4543ec71a7cf/datafx-core/src/main/java/org/datafx/controller/context/resource/AnnotatedControllerResourceType.java?at=default and add it as a SPI service.
