The registration of the Painterfactory takes place first. It defines which design the user interface will get. This can be done across the application in the init()-method of the Frontcontroler-Servlet.¹ Here, we select the standard design that the DefaultPainter offers us.²

import javax.servlet.ServletException

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet;
import com.cc.framework.ui.painter.PainterFactory
import com.cc.framework.ui.painter.def.DefPainterFactory;
import com.cc.framework.ui.painter.html.HtmlPainterFactory;

public class MyFrontController extends ActionServlet {

    public void init() throws ServletException {

        super.init();

        // Register all Painter Factories with the preferred GUI-Design
        // In this case we use the Default-Design.
        PainterFactory.registerApplicationPainter (
            getServletContext (), DefPainterFactory.instance());
        PainterFactory.registerApplicationPainter (
            getServletContext(), HtmlPainterFactory.instance());
    }
}
