Re: [xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Change component role from Class to Type

Hi Thomas/All, All looks good except CM.lookupComponent() which Ï don't like a lot for the following reasons: * It's a bit long. It's longer than before and it would be nicer if it were as short as before or even shorter ;) * It's not symmetrical with other lookups like lookupList and lookupMap, which should theoretically be lookupComponentList() and lookupComponentMap() which are even longer Thus I'd prefer that the new API for lookup be named differently. I propose to use "resolve": CM.resolve(Type) CM.resolveList(Type) CM.resolveMap(Type) Alternative: CM.getInstance(Type) CM.getInstanceList(Type) CM.getInstanceMap(Type) or even the short: CM.get(Type) CM.getList(Type) CM.getMap(Type) For information Guice uses getInstance(), Picocontainer uses getComponentInstance(). WDYT? My preference goes to getInstance(): * users are tempted by default to start typing "get" to get an instance and then they'll see getInstance in autocompletion and choose it. * it's the same as Guice
