Class SavedApplicationFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  gate.util.spring.GateAwareObject
      gate.util.spring.SavedApplicationFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean

public class SavedApplicationFactoryBean
extends GateAwareObject
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean

Spring factory bean to load a saved GATE application from a Spring resource location. Typically used via the gate: extension namespace:

 <gate:saved-application location="WEB-INF/application.gapp" />
 

See Init for details of how to declare this namespace in your bean definition files. We first attempt to resolve the location as a File, if this fails we fall back to resolving it as a URL. This is useful with servlet context resources (with an expanded web application) as it will give a file: URL rather than an opaque scheme like jndi: (Tomcat). The element also supports a nested <gate:customisers> element, giving a list of ResourceCustomisers that will be applied to the application after it is loaded.
