=20 -----Original Message----- From: Keith Donald [mailto:kd...@cs...]=20 Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 11:51 AM To: 'Sam Dalton' Subject: RE: Spring-rcp visual action is the "presentation" of the action. =20 you register a action handler with the visual action, which encapsulates = the work that should be done when the action is clicked (typically via a button.) =20 by default, if a visual action has no handler, it is disabled. if it has = a hooked up handler, it is always enabled. =20 if you need context sensitive actions, you'll need to use a dynamic = action handler. visual actions will automatically subscribe to dynamic = handlers for notifications (property changes) about when their enabled/disabled = state changes. =20 So for example, take a global delete action. =20 the visual side of it (generic instance of visual action) is placed in = the edit menu, and on the tool bar, and possibly even a drop down menu. different handlers may register with this global action (you can use the action registry to do that, and the Application class is implements it) = -> and if they're dynamic handlers (which makes sense for delete), they can notify the visual representation when it should enable/disable itself. =20 This design is largely based on how eclipse does it. I think it's = pretty good. =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: Sam Dalton [mailto:Sam...@ev...]=20 Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 11:41 AM To: 'Keith Donald' Subject: RE: Spring-rcp Aha, I see, looks good. So how do my actions communicate their results = back in terms of field changes/bringing up a new window etc? I see the = BeanBinder class, and presume that it is possible to bind a javabean to a form, but = I cant see exactly how this is done.. I am probably being stupid and = missing something, but any help would be great.

Action properties are pulled from the messageSource properties files, allowing for = localization of icon, name, description, etc. =20 See: org.springframework.rcp.action =20 Specifically take a look at: =20 VisualAction =20 ActionHandler =20 DynamicActionHandler =20 -----Original Message----- From: Sam Dalton [mailto:Sam...@ev...]=20 Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 10:10 AM To: 'Keith Donald' Subject: RE: Spring-rcp Also one thing that is missing from that mail is details of the action framework..... do you have any information about how this works?

Subject: Spring-rcp Keith, =20 =20 I am currently looking around for a decent Swing MVC framework, and the = work you have done on Spring-rcp looks just the ticket (especially since I already use spring elsewhere), but it is lacking documentation/samples = (that I can find anyway). Do you have such documentation or at least some good samples of using the framework? =20 I would be really grateful if you could help me/point me in the right direction. =20 Regards, =20 Sam Dalton =20 _______________________________________________ Evolution is the investment banking and venture capital industry's first choice for practical advice on strategy, business process and the application of advanced technology. =20 Sam Dalton Tel: +44 (0) 20 7898 0309 Evolution Fax: +44 (0) 20 7898 0459 Peninsular House 30-36 Monument Street Email: sam...@ev...
