Restful Webservices on fly(dynamically)

Hi Folks,

I would like introduce some dynamic cabability of exposing the spring bean as restful services

scenario is

1) i need to read the list of spring bean id's from fileat runtime( or during the loading time of web app)
2) based on bean id's i fetch from step 1 , i need to some how expose the beans as restful services

is there a way to acieve the same ?

Yes, you can, but it's not turn-key or plug-and-play. You need to write the code to perform the initialization and re-initialization.

Ganesh Gowtham,

May I know in what situation would such dynamism be ideal?

Scenraio is something of this sort ...

In our project we have couple of Spring beans save POJO ( service layer which talks to dao ...)

During the spring context startup, i would like to expose configured beans as Restful services ...

As @Lance said, i need to tweak or extend or customise the spring loading stuff to acieve the same ...

Any examples or WIKI or idea would be really appreciated.

Apache CXF can help you here. you just need to give some configurations saying which all beans are to be made available as a web-service.
