We have changed the commands shown in this article. All commands now start with the resource they affect. So in your case you should be looking for the ‘class’ command. Please use ‘help’ or tab completion in the Roo shell to learn about available commands.

The Roo documentation has also extensive information about all commands and their purpose: http://static.springsource.org/spring-roo/reference/html/command-index.html

This all seems very exciting. However, when following your instructions I’m finding that the command

new java file -name ~.security.BackendAccessListener

fails… in fact if I push tab twice (for help) the ‘new’ command isn’t one of the options listed.

Any ideas what the problem is here please?

Could you detail advantages/disadvantages of using “CRUD functionalities are woven into the domain objects via aspects.” versus “service layer and a repository / DAO layer”?

I want to know in real world if this “wovened” domain objects infrastructure can replace “traditional” service/repository layer seems it is easier/cleaner to code. Any strong suggestion on using “wovened” domain objects without tranditonal layers?

thanks

Applications generated with Spring Roo and the current FinanceManager application have some differences in their layering. The FinanceManager application uses a service layer and a repository / DAO layer which know from traditional applications. Roo generated applications can live without those layers as the usual CRUD functionalities are woven into the domain objects via aspects. The functionality remains the same in the end.

You can however, still implement your own service layer in Roo should you feel the need for it via the ‘new java file command’. Then you would need to implement your custom functionality in there since Roo cannot guess what exactly you need.

I came accross following serive objects that will update Authority and Person tables. do we have any commands in ROO to generate service objects.
AuthorityService.java
PersonService.java

Right now i am confused. whether to start working with ROO or use both create some things manually or user ROO.

Help me!!

Thanks for pointing me to correct direction.

Well you can easily use Roo to manage your users using the common CRUD conventions. There is also the ‘install security’ command to install Spring Security artifacts. Then in the security application context you could connect to the user table in your db using the jdbc-user-service tag. For details you can check out the Spring Finance Manager example application developed by me: http://bit.ly/2TLZnE

HTH,

The pages appear because the form itself is not (yet) protected. If you try submitting it the security login form should be presented. To secure the form as well you have several options:

1. protect the /vote/form URL via the Spring Security application context.
2. hide the menu item from unauthorized users (see http://stsmedia.net/spring-finance-part-6-spring-security-3-integration/ for more details)
3. add security annotations to the form method in the vote/choice controllers

Hope this helps.

Adding

into appSecurity.xml file under the tag is not enough. I am still able to access the “create new choice” or “create new vote” links and edit pages appear. Am I missing something here ?
Thank you in advance.
