GraphQLJavaServlet

What is the replacement for SimpleGraphQLServlet (along with the required parameters to the constructor) in the latest release?

[alamothe]

I see SimpleGraphQLHttpServlet but the constructor is private again, which makes it useless inside a servlet container.

You have to use the builder now to construct a SimpleGraphQLHttpServlet, e.g.:

private SimpleGraphQLHttpServlet createServlet(GraphQLSchema schema) {
  GraphQLSchemaProvider schemaProvider = new DefaultGraphQLSchemaProvider(schema);
  GraphQLInvocationInputFactory invocationInputFactory = GraphQLInvocationInputFactory.newBuilder(schemaProvider).build();
  return SimpleGraphQLHttpServlet.newBuilder(invocationInputFactory).build();
}

@alamothe To be able to use it in a servlet container you probably need #60 which is yet to be implemented.

Thanks!
I resolved it by overriding the init() method of HttpServlet. :)

@oliemansm It only needs constructor to be protected (it was in 5.0.1)

I don't understand why this is such a huge issue.

I'm sticking with 5.0.1 for now

[oliemansm]

@alamothe Who's saying it's a huge issue? Made it protected again.

[alamothe]

@oliemansm My apologies, I wrongly assumed it was made private again on purpose and there's a reason to keep it that way.

Thanks for doing this!

[oliemansm]

Sure, no problem. Not sure if this one will be part of 5.0.3 or the release after that. Depends on if the 5.0.3 release was already in the pipeline at Sonatype.

@oliemansm is there I way you can do things like append a cookie to the response or create a custom error handling strategy with this createServlet method example you showed? That's what I'm struggling with. I used to extend SimpleGraphQLServlet's methods like createContext and getGraphQLErrorHandler, but now its not clear to me how that works with a GraphQLInvocationInputFactory. The documentation here on github is out of date (it still refers to SimpleGraphQLServlet).

The .build() method is indicated as @deprecated in the IDE. What's the change? How to instantiate it?
