Configuration

To configure and register the model processor you must:

1. Create a file called HelloWorldWidgetDefaultViewModelProcessor.properties.

2. Enter the following in the file:

   $class=com.mycompany.view.processor.HelloWorldWidgetDefaultViewModelProcessor
   viewNames=default

   You can specify several view names when you define viewNames: use a comma to separate them.

3. Create a file called HelloWorldWidgetDescriptor.properties.

4. Enter the following in the file:

   $class=com.escenic.framework.descriptor.WidgetDescriptor
   widgetName=helloWorld
   modelProcessor.helloWorld.1=/com/escenic/framework/controller/HelloWorldWidgetDefaultViewModelProcessor

   Note the .1 on the last line above: you can specify more than one model processor for a widget. If, for example, you wanted to add a second model processor to handle a custom view then you would need to add another entry like this:

   modelProcessor.helloWorld.2=/com/escenic/framework/controller/HelloWorldWidgetCustomViewModelProcessor

   (Of course, you would then also need to repeat steps 1 and 2 to configure your HelloWorldWidgetCustomViewModelProcessor as well.)

5. Create a file called DescriptorRegistry.properties.

6. Enter the following in the file:

   $class=com.escenic.framework.descriptor.DescriptorRegistry
   widgetDescriptor.helloWorld=./HelloWorldWidgetDescriptor
