Listing 6-20. BookController.java

1. package com.apress.books.controller;


2. 
   


3. import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;


4. import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;


5. import com.apress.books.model.Book;


6. import com.apress.books.service.BookService;


7. import java.util.List;


8. 
   


9. @ManagedBean


10. @RequestScoped


11. public class BookController {


12. 
    


13. private BookService bookService ;


14. private List bookList;


15. 
    


16. public String listAllBooks() {


17. bookList = bookService.getAllBooks();


18. return "bookList.xhtml";


19. }


20. 
    


21. public BookService getBookService() {


22. return bookService;


23. }


24. 
    


25. public void setBookService(BookService bookService) {


26. this.bookService = bookService;


27. }


28. 
    


29. public List getBookList() {


30. return bookList;


31. }


32. public void setBookList(List bookList) {


33. this.bookList = bookList;


34. }


35. }

   Line 17: Invokes the getAllBooks() method on bookService

   Line 18: Returns the booklist.xhtml file that is composed with the template and

list.xhtml, which displays the list of books see later in Figure 6-20

Listing 6-21 illustrates the configuration metadata that is provided to the Spring IoC container. This
file is the same as created in Chapter 5 with a slight modification to configure the managed bean
BookController with the BookService.
