Comments on: Adding Support for Custom Namespaces http://springide.org/blog/2007/04/05/adding-support-for-custom-namespaces/ The Spring IDE team blog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:37:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Angel http://springide.org/blog/2007/04/05/adding-support-for-custom-namespaces/#comment-122 Angel Mon, 16 Apr 2007 15:16:18 +0000 http://springide.org/blog/2007/04/05/adding-support-for-custom-namespaces/#comment-122 Hi, i've been trying with no luck to reproduce the example here. I've download the plugin and it throws several (100) items on the problems view. I've tried to extract the libraries required from the M3 release of the Spring IDE plugin with no luck. It seems that it relays on later versions of the code in order to work. I've also tried to download all the projects from the repository in order to make the plugin work but also without luck. Code throws errors about methods that must override a superclass methods.... and when i solve one problem another shows up. Is the example presented here still valid or is there any hint you can give me in order to get the example to work? many thanks in advance.

I’ve also tried to download all the projects from the repository in order
to make the plugin work but also without luck. Code throws errors about methods that must override a superclass methods…. and when i solve one problem another shows up.

Is the example presented here still valid or is there any hint you can give me in order to get the example to work?

many thanks in advance.

Make sure that you install version <code>springide_updatesite_dev_2.0-m4_v200704170600</code> or greater as I <a href="http://springide.org/project/changeset/1787" rel="nofollow">fixed</a> some packaging issue that prevented plugin developers to import classes from Spring IDE OSGi bundles.</li> <li>Install Subversive or Subclipse in order to check out the <a href="http://springide.org/repos/branches/samples/" rel="nofollow">sample project from the svn</a>.</li> <li>Launch a new Eclipse Application from Debug or Run menu and see the sample plugin in action. </ol> Hope that helps. Thanks for addressing the issue with the sample plugin as it brought up issues with our bundle packaging. Here are some usage and installation instructions for the sample namespace plugin:

  1. Install WTP all-in-one package from the here.
  2. Install Spring IDE from the nightly build update site to the fresh installed Eclipse. Make sure that you install version springide_updatesite_dev_2.0-m4_v200704170600 or greater as I fixed some packaging issue that prevented plugin developers to import classes from Spring IDE OSGi bundles.
  3. Install Subversive or Subclipse in order to check out the sample project from the svn.
  4. Launch a new Eclipse Application from Debug or Run menu and see the sample plugin in action.

Hope that helps. Thanks for addressing the issue with the sample plugin as it brought up issues with our bundle packaging.

Is it wrong example? Besides AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser requires to use overrided method protected abstract Class getBeanClass(Element element); where loaded class returns, not String as suggested in article. In example:

BeanDefinitionBuilder definitionBuilder = BeanDefinitionBuilder
        .rootBeanDefinition(FlowExecutorFactoryBean.class);

And then follows:

Although it makes a difference if we are talking about a third-party namespace or one that is shipped with Spring. Spring IDE has access to every class from Spring and Spring Web Flow. So therefore the example works with Spring IDE, but wouldn't work with classes from your own application. The AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser will get another method getBeanClassName (both methods will not be abstract and at least one must return a value) in Spring 2.1. Until then you shouldn't use the class for your own custom namespace.

There is the http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool namespace with tags for annotating schema elements for custom namespaces with meta information. This information can cover about 80% of typical cases needed for namespace tooling like completion and navigation of custom tags, without a custom IDE plugin. Will Spring IDE support the http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool xsd annotations? BTW.

Feel free to open an enhancement request in our ticketing system. I think that could be added in a after-2.0 release. But still you would need to provide the XSD either as a plugin or a XML catalog extension.

NamespaceHandler source: http://springide.org/project/browser/branches/samples/org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.config Sample plugin source: http://springide.org/project/browser/branches/samples/org.springframework.samples.ide.eclipse.namespace.db Are these still laying around somewhere? If so, can they be made available again? TIA, Bryan I realize this blog post is over a year old, but I stumbled upon it recently as I need to do pretty much what it describes.

NamespaceHandler source:
http://springide.org/project/browser/branches/samples/org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.config

Sample plugin source:

Are these still laying around somewhere? If so, can they be made available again?

TIA,
