The CRUD controller of my dreams – Part 1 (requirements)

On August 4, 2012, in CRUD, Java EE 6, by lucasterdev

As a Developer, I want to only have to extend the base class:
```
public class BookCRUD extends CRUD<T> {}
```
As a Developer, I want to use vanilla Java EE 6, so that the controller is portable
As a Developer, I want database accesses to be executed transactionally
As a Developer, I want the controller to not contain any view logic, so that business logic and view logic are decoupled
As a Developer, I want the controller to support any navigation pattern ou-of-the-box, so that changes in the view logic don’t require changes in the controller code
As a Developer, I want the controller to support entities of any kind and complexity
As a Developer, I want supporting entities with collections to require minimal code change
As a Developer, I do not want to use f:viewParam or f:event, so that views don’t contain controller logic
As a Developer, I do not want the controller to interfere with my app, so that it can be added to existing projects without side effects
