JsOrb

Configure JsOrb

JsOrb is currently configured using Spring. Configuration involves telling JsOrb about your interfaces and their implementations, and telling it which classes it should marshal to the browser.

The above configuration defines a bean named interfaceMap which needs to be a Map with a key that is the fully-qualified name of an interface you wish to expose, and a value of a bean which implements that interface. You can define as many interfaces and implementations as you want, and your implementations can even be inside stateless session beans (SLSBs) if desired (use Spring's LocalStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean). The other bean that JsOrb requires is called entityPatterns and is a List of regular expressions. Every POJO class you wish to marshal must match at least one of the regular expressions you provide. If you use Spring's AOP proxies or Hibernate proxies, you'll need to exclude those proxies from your regular expressions (for Hibernate, it may help to use [^$]* instead of .* for matching class names).
