spring-roo

I have a maven project generated by Spring Roo and use several tools (checkstyle, pmd etc.) to collect information about my project. (namely I am using codehaus' sonar for this) Roo makes heavy use of AspectJ Inter Type Declarations (ITD) to seperate concerns like persistence, javabeans-getter/setters etc. These ITDs are woven in at compile-time so tools like checkstyle and pmd (who work on source-level) have a lot of false positives. The only solution I currently see, is to deactivate checks for Classes that use ITDs. Any better ideas? This answer would not help you right now, but hopefully

I used Roo to create a project that uses existing database. Im able to create dynamic finders, but I want to implement custom finder that will receive 4 parameters and use some of them to create Like condition and others for equals condition. What is the best way to do this with Roo. The recommended pattern is to edit the .java source file for your entity and define the new finder there. You might like to create a dynamic finder and then copy the style from the corresponding entityname_Roo_Finder.aj file. Please note manually-created finders do not appear in the automatically-created web

I've been working on GWT projects for a few months now and I decided to give a try to this Spring Roo thing. I noticed that to go from 0 to the same results as with Roo it can take very long. My first thought was: "this is great"! But once you've setup a couple of persistent entities and Roo generates your scaffolding for GWT and you have some very basic layout but a huge amount of code. Then what? You stop using Roo and go on by hand? The UI is nice but is very basic. I don't want to modify things by hand since I don't want to mess up Roo generation. So I just remove all Roo stuff and I fall

I'm stuck in this issue for a long time. I want to use @Secure to add Access Control to my controller ArticleController.java like this: @RequestMapping(headers = "Accept=application/json") @ResponseBody @Secured("ROLE_ADMIN") public ResponseEntity<String> listJson() { HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders(); headers.add("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); List<Article> result = Article.findAllArticles(); return new ResponseEntity<String>(Article.toJsonArray(result), headers, HttpStatus.OK); } listJson return a Json object for Articles but only Admin can read them. OK now I

Spring roo is new framework and I found it very interesting. I have been working on web application for last 3-4 years and Always found JSPs are hard to maintain across teams if everyone is not disciplined enough about separation of markup and serverside logic. I have used JackBe/BackBase in last projects and I enjoyed xml templates working as views. This was much better than JSPs. But I couldnt automate webtests through selenium for backbase. I would be surely using Spring MVC (-view), Hibernate on the backend. I found Wicket as good alternative. Have you used wicket along with Spring and
