Hi devs,
This is a buy one, get two proposal.
I propose that first we rename DocumentUpdateEvent and DocumentSaveEvent to respectively DocumentUpdatedEvent and DocumentCreatedEvent. Which would be both more clear and would comply to the naming rules we've agreed on (see http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/frzfzookl2lstsfj ). By rename I don't mean real rename, but deprecation of the old events and creation of two new ones.
Then I propose we introduce two new events : DocumentCreatingEvent and DocumentUpdatingEvent, that would be fired before the actual save. This is a pretty common use case for code that needs to hook on save to perform any kind of verification/pre-computation/etc. This is the same idea as the "preverify" method of the legacy notification mechanism. The events would actually be fired from the same place as the preverify method in old XWiki.java.
WDYT ?
I'm +1 and if we agree I volunteer to make those changes on 3.0 branch - and maybe the 2.7 too if we agree we want that too (I do). _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
-0 if you do only that ;)
Fair enough :)
If you start refactoring theses events it would be a good idea to also: - move them to bridge module (we can't move them to model module since theses events still send XWikiContext and XWikiDocument) - refactor them to be based on references instead of strings
OK.
One more question : are you guys OK to maintain compatibility for the events to be deprecated in an aspect ?
(+1 from me)
Aspect I don't know but we need to have something listening to new events and generating old events (not sure what is doable with an aspect). Also I think old events and bridge I described should be moved in some "xwiki-legacy" module or something like that to clean up observation module. That way components already built will work inside XWiki but will need to be refactored when core dependency is upgraded.
Jerome.
