Controller

A Controller is a Cohorte component. It is both a servlet and a request handler. Therefore, the class can be divided in two.

According to the architecture described here, the controller must have a reference on both the model and the view. Therefore, it requires the two components. And since it is a servlet, a couple extra properties are set :

The definition of a Controller should look like this.

@ComponentFactory("myapp.controllers.users_factory")
@Provides(specifications='pelix.http.servlet')
@Property('_path', 'pelix.http.path', "/users")
@Property('_reject', pelix.remote.PROP_EXPORT_REJECT, ['pelix.http.servlet'])
@Requires("_model", "myapp.models.users")
@Requires("_view", "myapp.views.users")
class UserController(AbstractController):
    """
    A component that provides the /users servlet
    """

A Controller class should extend AbstractController or one of its subclasses.
