Roo way of replacing show method on scaffolded controller

[boldt]

Hi,

I'm using roo 1.2.2

I have created a controller annotated with @RooWebScaffold(path = "cards", formBackingObject = Card.class), so I get methods like show, update, create etc generated

However, I which to customize

public String show(@PathVariable("id") Long id, Model uiModel) {
..

on the controller.

I simply did that by adding this method to my controller and removing

    @RequestMapping(value = "/{id}", produces = "text/html")
    public String CardController.show(@PathVariable("id") Long id, Model uiModel) {
        uiModel.addAttribute("card", Card.findCard(id));
        uiModel.addAttribute("itemId", id);
        return "cards/show";
    }

from the backing aj file, in this case CardController_Roo_Controller which seems to work.

If I would remove the create method, I could have done it using the annotation on the controller, like

@RooWebScaffold(path = "cards", formBackingObject = Card.class,create=false)

So is the above the correct way to create a custom version of the show method.

Niels

Hi!

There are two different questions here.

So, in order to edit the "show" method, you indeed have to copy (or create a new one with the same name) on the controller java file. Beware to adjust the aspect-specific syntax, in this case remove "CardController" from "CardController.show".

Secondly, if you want to remove the "create" method, then yes, specifying "create=false" is the correct way to do it.

Best,
