Notification plugin

Short note to let you know that I committed a notification plugin to the sandbox under the xwiki-sandbox/plugins/notification folder. The plugin uses the scheduler plugin (the version used is the one under xwiki-sandbox/plugins/tasks/ , currently being reviewed and completed by Vincent), and the mailsender plugin (see my previous email). I'm aware this will raise issues since we already have the notification plugin "net.jkraemer.xwiki.plugins.emailnotify", but I needed the following behaviour: - retrive the recent changes by querying the database (as opposed to emailnotify, which uses the in memory notifications caught by XWikiDocChangeNotificationInterface), - use mail templates as provided by the mailsender plugin for sending customized messages, - scheduling tasks that can be managed through the scheduler plugin. The plugin currently comes with a XWiki.NotificationRule class consisting of the following fields: - watched documents (comma separated) - watched spaces (comma separated) - watched documents query Users wishing to be notified have to attach one or several rule objects to their account page. The message used for sending the notifications is an instance of XWiki.Mail attached to the document XWiki.NotificationMessage (this should be configurable later on). Here's the current API of the plugin, comments are welcome: ========== int registerNotificationRuleForUser(String userFullName, String watchedSpaces, String watchedDocuments, String watchedDocumentsQuery) int addWatchedDocumentForUser(String userFullName, String watchedDocument) int addWatchedSpaceForUser(String userFullName, String watchedSpace) ========== Pending: draw a sound plan for a unified notification plugin and merge the API with the emailnotify one, add support for group notification, let users choose the notification frequency they wish, write tests and XWiki documents.. Here's the JIRA issue that relates to this plugin: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPEMAIL-2 Cheers Stéphane
