[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Script Bridge

Hi, This is following the proposal done here some time ago: http://mar​kmail.org/​message/nn​ybto3mluvp​2rov Since we now have a generic Script notion we need to revisit it in that light. Also we really need to implement it now since more and more components are put in the velocity context (office importer, syntax factory, etc) and we need to bring some order. Here's a new generic proposal: Short term ======== * The variable "services" is bound in the script context. For ex in Velocity: $services * The Services object (ScriptServiceManager) has a ScriptService get(String serviceName) method which returns the service * We use the namespace: services.<module name>.<method>. Each module provides only one service entry point. * ScriptService interface (empty interface) represents a service to be bound in the context * ScriptServiceManager.get() looks for all components of role ScriptService and returns the component matching the the name as the component hint. Ex: @Component("mymodule") public class MyModuleScriptService implements ScriptService, MyModuleBusinessInterface { public void myMethod() {} } In script: {{velocity}} $services.mymodule.myMethod {{/velocity}} Medium term ========== * We handle @authorization(Authorization.PROGRAMMING) annotations to check for access rights. To do this in ScriptServiceManager.get() we use a Dynamic Proxy to implement MyModuleBusinessInterface (we probably need a ScriptService.getInterface() method to make it unambiguous). The Dynamic Proxy checks the annotation before proxying to the real object. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent PS: This is to answer Sergiu's question about where is getAvailableParserSyntaxes() from my other mail... ;) Answer: It would be in RenderingScriptService.
