## ======= file: ws.py ========

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns
from django.core import serializers

class JsonResponse(HttpResponse):
    def __init__(self, content, *args, **kwargs):
        data = serializers.serialize("json", content)
        super(JsonResponse, self).__init__(data, mimetype="text/json", *args, **kwargs)


class JsonWebService(object):
    '''
    Base class for json-based web services
    '''

    @staticmethod
    def jsonresponse():
        def decorator(func):
            def wrap_json(*args):
                ret = func(*args)
                return JsonResponse(ret)
            wrap_json._is_json_ws = True
            return wrap_json
        return decorator

    @classmethod
    def getActions(cls):
        '''
        returns the methods decorated with jsonresponse
        @param cls:
        '''
        return filter(lambda k: getattr(getattr(cls, k), '_is_json_ws', False), dir(cls))

    @property
    def urls(self):
        urls = []
        for action in self.getActions():
            urls.append((r'^json/' + action, getattr(self, action)))
        urlpatterns = patterns('', *urls)
        return urlpatterns




## example use of JsonWebService
from django.contrib.comments.models import Comment

class SMCommandWS(JsonWebService):

    @JsonWebService.jsonresponse()
    def getComments(self, request):
        'the url will be /ws/json/getComments'
        return Comment.objects.all()

ws = MySiteWS()


## ======== file: urls.py ======
from App.ws import ws

...
urlpatterns += patterns('',                                                
    (r'^ws/', include(ws.urls)),
)
