Class SubModule

java.lang.Object
  net.wgen.op.system.OpModule
      net.wgen.op.system.SubModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public abstract class SubModule

extends OpModule

An application that is used by other first-class Applications. The one abstract method here allows the PluginApplication to claim a particular URL, but then analyzing it route the request to another application. Doing this means that a PluginApplication can map to an existing Application datasource.

For example, if Small Group Advisor claims the url "wgen/sga" the PluginApplication for Small Group Advisor can say, "Ok, even tho I'm in my own url space, I want to route this particular request to D2 so that the database calls I make are made using the D2 SQL Data Source."
