Hi devs, for better management of the XWatch data, I'd like to create a XWiki Watch component (plugin) to handle Watch specific actions on the server side. The main reason I wish to do this is to eliminate the duplicate query code in Watch, caused by the fact that the same actions are needed from the GWT Servlet and the wiki documents. Since querying is a matter of accessing Watch data, I see no reason for maintaining duplicate, independent implementations for it and not centralizing it in a component. Besides eliminating duplicate code, the component would also provide support for: - universal, easier access to Watch data regardless of the interface/API (GWT servlet, default implementation of XWatch portal pages, custom wiki pages) - better implementation of the Watch data model layer on top of xwiki data model (object/document dependencies, data consistency, providing universal API for safer manipulation of data from this pov). By adding this component, Watch would be deployed as a plugin + xar, as other XWiki applications are (but with some custom modifications in web.xml, required by the GWT servlet). I would like to implement this component in the following iteration of XWiki Watch (1.1 M2) to have it fully tested and debugged until the 1.1 final release. WDYT? Happy coding, Anca Luca _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
