Question

I have RequestFactory with some request interface

public interface FooRequest extends RequestContext {
   Request<List<Foo>> findSmt();
}

I can’t figure out where I should place findSmt() implementation and how I should do wiring with that implementation.

Answer 1

You can use the @Service annotation to denote a class that implements findSmt. You should not inherit FooRequest.

@Service(FooRequestImpl.class)
public interface FooRequest extends RequestContext {
   Request<List<FooProxy>> findSmt();
}

...

public class FooRequestImpl
{
    List<FooDAO> findSmt()  //note that we dropped the Request and changed the Proxy to the DAO
    {
        return getFoos();
    }
}

Unfortunately in same cases I have been forced to put static methods in my domain entities. I think it is not possible to create an InstanceRequest in a separate class.
