Provide common methods for subclasses
Subroutines/Methods
COMPONENT
The constructor stores a copy of the application instance for future reference. It does this to remain compatible with Catalyst::Controller whose constructor is no longer called
bad_request
Sets the response body to the provided error message and the response status to 400
deserialize
Calls the deserialization method selected by the subclass on the request body
get_verb
Returns the lower case request method name. Allows for the implementation of a "RESTful" API. The client may post and set the _method request parameter to delete or put if it does not support those methods directly. It may also set the the _method to an arbitrary value
The verb is used by the action class to lookup the action to forward to. Called from the begin method once the current view has been determined from the request content type
not_implemented
Sets the response body to the provided error message and the response status to 405
process
Serializes the response using XML::Simple and encodes the body using Encode if required
Private Methods
_build_widgets
Calls build in HTML::FormWidgets which transforms the widgets definitions into fragments of HTML or XHTML as required
_prepare_data
Called by "process" this method is responsible for selecting those elements from the stash that are passed to the serializer method
_read_form_sources
Returns an array ref widget references in the stash. Can be passed to "_build_widgets" or its output can be sent directly to the serializer
