"putting some code in each application using it to avoid the effet of
the revertv" is pretty much the same thing as "propose an alternative
solution to the same issue": in both case searchDocument go back to
what is used to be and you need to filter another way
Anyway whatever the real difference between 1) and 3) I think we need
a filtering system and the way it's done now is bad.
So, you (Thomas and Jerome) would be in favor of reverting to the old
behavior, improving the feature by using a boolean for example, and
setting
that boolean only when we want the filter applied
(for example, in calls
from the public API). Since I completely agree that this should have been
done that way in the first place, I would like to propose that in vote.
is
there any comments from others before I do ?
An idea to avoid duplicating all the searchDocument methods is to add
the hiddent document setup at org.xwiki.query.Query level.
Basically we come back to clean searchDocument implementation in
XWikiHibernateStore and we put the hidden document filter support in
Query interface with a Query#setHiddenFiltered or something like that.
In any case using query manager is supposed to be the proper current
way of dealing with XWiki model so we don't have to support anything
in "old" storage APIs.
But to meet the objective of XWIKI-2843, which is to hide hidden document
from all public API (those not requiring PR), this would also means to use
org.xwiki.query.Query in all existing public API, or deprecate all those not
using it ?
