Hi my name is Alejandro Scandroli.

I have been working in three-tier developments for a while. The last year I start using Tapestry-Spring-Hibernate combination for all my projects. I also use xdoclet, junit, etc. Two months ago I found Trails. Now I'm in heaven. I'm faster than ever. I do more work in less time, and I get paid for project ;-)

My last project is a EnhydraShark WebClient. Shark already has a persistence layer (also implemented with Hibernate) so I start working with Trails source to make it work with Shark.

I would like to share my work results.

1) In

isNumeric() I add

to add compatibility with Long type.

2) I add a new parameter "propertyNames" to ObjectTable component as in

<parameter name="propertyNames" type="java.lang.String[]" required="no" direction="auto" default-value="null"/>

Then add this lines in ObjectTable.java (from PropertyTable.java)

ObjectTable { public abstract String[] getPropertyNames();

public abstract void setPropertyNames(String[] PropertyNames);

public List getPropertyDescriptors() { if (getPropertyNames() == null || getPropertyNames().length == 0) { return getClassDescriptor().getPropertyDescriptors(); } ArrayList descriptors = new ArrayList(); for (int i = 0; i < getPropertyNames().length; i++) { try {

name ==\"" + getPropertyNames()[i] + "\"}[0]", this)); } catch (OgnlException e) { e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates. } } return descriptors; }

public String getColumnString() { ArrayList columnStrings = new ArrayList();

for (Iterator iter = getPropertyDescriptors().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) { TrailsPropertyDescriptor descriptor = (TrailsPropertyDescriptor) iter.next(); // name id column id so we can make a block for it String columnId = descriptor.isIdentifier() ? "id" : descriptor.getName(); if (displaying(descriptor)) { columnStrings.add(columnId + ":" + descriptor.getDisplayName() + ":" + descriptor.getName());

} }

return StringUtils.join(columnStrings.iterator(), ","); }

private boolean displaying(TrailsPropertyDescriptor descriptor) { if ((descriptor.isCollection() && isShowCollections() && !descriptor.isHidden()) || (!descriptor.isCollection() && !descriptor.isHidden())) { return true; } else { return false; } } }

This way I can set the properties I want to show.

I'm, also, adding User Management & login capabilities, extending the PersistenceService, and creating a special descriptor for java.util.Map

I hope you found this useful. I would really like to share my work.

Bye. Alejandro Scandroli.

PD:- please! excuse my lame English.
