Re: [xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Always store document names as fully qualified names

Hi devs, The real full qualified name of a document is wiki:Space.Page. I think we sould always use only this form for technical purposes like storing in database or old API which does not support DocumentName. pros: - don't need to take care of the context, the information is always right. - if everything is stored in only one form it's way easier to compare things and do requests cons: - old code which does not support this document name form will fail. This could hardly be a good arguments since this form is a officially valid document name but i can't see anything else. Among others, the last use case which make me send this proposal is http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3754. IMO getLinkedPages return and the link table should only contains fully qualified links, especially since theses lists are supposed to contains uniques documents and we need to know the 3 parts of the document name to make sure of that . Note that a document could contain a link to a document in another wiki or even a link to the same document but written in its full form so a code which support only local form is wrong anyway. WDYT ? Here is my +1. The pros are basically the same that make us introduce DocumentName to not manipulate String anymore in code.
