Hi Devs,
I'd like to add a bridge event to allow components to get notified when
old core has been initialized (at the end of XWiki#initXWiki for example).
This would be useful for components that needs to access the store, for
example to register XWiki classes.
I recognize this solution is not perfect since it's more bridged code, but
it would be better that what we have been doing so far (hard-coded
component initialization in XWiki.java, for example for the wiki macro
bridge to register its classes)
I've attached a patch proposal to
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5194.
Note that I would also fix the wiki macro bridge initialization.
+1 from me to go ahead with that.
WDYT ?
Before I can answer, some questions:
- Why do you call it a "bridge event"?
- How would you call the event (I haven't checked the patch yet), knowing that we
already have an app initialized event?
- Do we need 2 events: app initialized + this one or is one enough?
- Why don't we initialize the store upon application start as the first listener
(we'll need an init order but we've been needing that anyway IMO)?
If we can have only a single app initialized event it would be better IMO.
Thanks
