Exposing a group of methods in session, Spring framework

[Naresh Daswani]

Hi All,

Is it possible in Spring framework, to expose group of methods in Configuration XML so these methods are available in all the controllers of application.

For example: I have a class TestUtil and in that there is a method getStackTrace(). Can I expose this method in Spring configuration file in any way so that in all the controllers I can directly say "getStackTrace()" that is making this method exposed in session.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Naresh Daswani

Never heard of this type of functionality. I can't imagine it could be done, but please let us know if you come up w/ a solution.

You could inject TestUtil into all your controllers to make that functionality available. It would instantiate one instance of TestUtil for all the controllers (sounds like what you want).

Best practice would be to define an interface that defines getStackTrace() and have TestUtil implement the interface.

hi Naresh,

or you could make a superclass for all your Controllers,
and put the getStackTrace() method in there.
