Let me restate - I do NOT need the HibernateSessionManager, but I DO need an ASO. ASOs are per client/request/thread, so I will have to figure this part out as my service is a Singleton (and I'm not convinced it needs to be per thread). So... couldn't I just inject a reference to the ApplicationStateManager into my Dispatcher, and then use it to grab ASOs? As long as the ApplicationStateManager accesses the current thread, this should work. I haven't yet put much thought into this, but I'm reading up now. Does my logic appear flawed?

Services are singletons by default, but you can use the @Scope
annotation to make them per-thread.

If however you want the dispatcher to be a singleton, you've got a
little more work to do :)

This recent thread about getting an ASO into a singleton service might
give you some ideas:  "T5 - Inject an Application State Object into a
Service" (Sep 12) [1]

In your case, you need to create something similar to the
ApplicationStateManager to get a hold of the Session for the current
thread.  Unfortunately, the HibernateSessionManager [2] service won't
work because its also per-thread.

Take a look at 'Shadow Services' [3] in the ioc.  I think you could
create a service that shadows the HibernateSessionManager.getSession()
method and have this injected into your dispatcher. Your dispatcher
and shadow service remain singletons.

I'm afraid i don't have time to test it out, but it seems to work in my head :)

Cheers,
lasitha.

Hi all,

I'm implementing an access control service as a Dispatcher, and
contributing it to the MasterDispatcher service. This dispatcher runs
just before PageRender... and ComponentAction..., so that it can check
if the user is allowed to access the page/resource. This seems to be a
very "T5" way of doing things and completely removes the task of access
control from the pages (ie i don't have to extend a base page that
implements control logic).
I want this service to use a database and am already using
tapestry-hibernate in this project. I figured I could just @Inject the
session into my service just like I would a page or component, but that
doesn't work. In a way that makes sense; services are singletons if I'm
not mistaken (which makes sense), and Sessions exist (and possibly
injected?) per-thread. Being that my service will be started in a
different thread than any request, I think @Inject is ignored.

So my question is, how should I go about getting access to my database
from my service? I'd like to use the blinding simplicity of of IoC just
giving it to me, but I;m not sure that's an option. Any ideas?

thanks,
chris
