[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rename Application Manager's SuperClass/SuperDocument tool

[Ludovic Dubost]

Do we agree SuperDocument should extend com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document ? or 
is it XWikiDocument ?
If I understand correctly it is a Document with helper functions to 
manage the data of one specific class ?
I'm wondering if this should not be part of Document itself (with a 
setting deciding with class is the "main" object of that Document). We 
already have a value in the document which forces XWiki to instanciate 
the Document as a specific class (we are using this in Curriki with 
AssetDocument or in the new space manager).
In any case I'm pro XObjectDocument is we really need an interface for 
that. I'm +1 to rename Document to XDocument also.

Concerning Class, is it an override of "Document" also ?
We have already com.xpn.xwiki.api.Class in the API also which is the 
class part of the Document. How is it different ?
Could we use the same mecanism to instanciate a document that is a class 
as an XClass ? or XClassManager ?
