RE: [Springframework-rcp-dev] And another question

Ronald,

In general you've hit on some important areas of the framework that need to
be developed.  I am particularly interested in incorporating lifecycle
methods that allow you to insert custom logic at appropriate places in the
lifecycle of the rich client app, for example:

1. Before the application is started (for example, allowing you to popup a
login prompt that requires authentication to proceed.)
2. Before the main window is displayed
3. Before the "action bars" are constructed
4. After a window is displayed.
5. After a window is closed, etc.

I've started doing a bit of this work, but the lifecycle has not yet been
appropriately modeled.  I hope to revisit work in this area soon, and
incorporate user authentication back into the petclinic sample integrated
with Acegi security, as it is a very important requirement.

Subject: [Springframework-rcp-dev] And another question

Another one from me, where should I save the state for the entire window 
(for instance the logged in user)?

I thought I would extend ApplicationWindow and add the objects I would 
like to save, but all of the menu's and toolbars and views and windows 
are all private, so when using the following definition

    <bean id="mainWindow" class="some.class.called.MainResourceWindow"
        singleton="false">
        <property name="menuBar">
            <ref bean="mainWindowMenuBar"/>
        </property>
        <property name="toolBar">
            <ref bean="mainWindowToolBar"/>
        </property>
        <property name="user"><ref bean="ronald"/></property>
    </bean>

where MainResourceWindow extends ApplicationWindow, I will get erorrs. 
So should I introduce another state object, or should the properties of 
ApplicationWindow be protected?

Ronald
