DWR error handling

Exception/error handling of DWR calls can be centralized by setting the handlers. More here: http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/documentation/browser/errors.html


dwr.engine.setErrorHandler(UI.errorHandler);
dwr.engine.setTextHtmlHandler(UI.textHtmlHandler);

 // Handler for errors and exceptions
 errorHandler : function(msg, param2) {
  UI.hideLoading();
  Utils.resetClick();
  View.error(msg, 700)
 },

 // Handler when Ajax returns a text such as session timeout, page not found etc...
 textHtmlHandler : function() {
  UI.hideLoading();
  //View.error("Your session has expired, please login again." );
   document.location = '/adapt/web/jsp/timeout.jsp';
 },

Spring Inversion of Control

Bean Creation
- code POJO, add bean configuration element to the Spring XML configuration file or annotate the POJO
<bean id="message" class="org.springbyexample.di.xml.BelleMessage"/>

Inversion of Control
1. Constructor Injection

public ConstructorMessage(String message) {
    this.message = message;
}

<bean id="message" class="org.springbyexample.di.xml.ConstructorMessage">
    <constructor-arg value="Spring is fun." />
</bean>

2. Setter Injection

public void setMessage(String message) {
    this.message = message;
}

<bean id="message" class="org.springbyexample.di.xml.SetterMessage">
    <property name="message" value="Spring is fun." />
</bean>

3. Reference Injection

<bean id="message" class="org.springbyexample.di.xml.SetterMessage">
    <property name="message" ref="springMessage"" />
</bean>
