Intro

Green-forest Framework is the simple IoC Container with Action-Handler architecture. It's not a competitor for Spring Framework or JEE but it's a powerful addition for these frameworks. You can use Green-forest for a single class implementation and for a complex business logic.

Motivation

What is the motivation for using Green-forest Framework? The main task is to simplify the code: transfer of one big class (some service implementation) to a set of small classes (handlers).

Code Example

//create Green-forest Engine
Engine engine = new Engine();
 
//register some handler
engine.putHandler(SomeActonHandler.class);
 
//invoke some action and get result
String result = engine.invoke(new SomeAction("some data"));


//implement a business logic
@Mapping(SomeAction.class)
public class SomeActonHandler extends Handler<SomeAction>{
 
    @Inject
    SomeService service;
     
    public void invoke(SomeAction action) throws Exception {
     
        String input = action.getInput();
        String result = service.someWork(input);
         
        action.setOutput(result);
    }
}

JEE Integration

@Singleton
public class ActionServiceImpl implements ActionService {
     
    @PersistenceContext
    EntityManager entityManager;
     
    Engine engine;
     
    @PostConstruct
    public void createEngine(){
        engine = new Engine();
        engine.addToContext(entityManager);
        engine.scanAndPut("foo.blah");
    }
    
    //Single API method
    public <I, O> O invoke(Action<I, O> action) {
        return (O) engine.invoke(action);
    }
     
}
