Class AbstractControllerConfig

java.lang.Object

org.javalite.activeweb.AppConfig

org.javalite.activeweb.AbstractControllerConfig

public abstract class AbstractControllerConfig
extends AppConfig

This class is to be sub-classed by the application level class called app.config.AppControllerConfig. This class provides ways to bind filters to controllers. It has coarse grain methods for binding as well as fine grained.

See ControllerFilter.

Filters before() methods are executed in the same order as filters are registered.

• Adding global filters:addGlobalFilters(org.javalite.activeweb.controller_filters.ControllerFilter...)
• Adding controller filters:add(org.javalite.activeweb.controller_filters.ControllerFilter...) )}

Adding a global filter adds it to all controllers. It makes sense to use this to add timing filters, logging filters, etc.

Filters' after() methods are executed in the opposite order as filters are registered.

Here is an example of adding a filter to specific actions:

 add(mew TimingFilter(), new DBConnectionFilter()).to(PostsController.class).forActions("index", "show");
