Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Introduce user management configuration in virtual mode

Thanks, Anca >> >> errr? We're talking about APIs here.... why would I? Simply because there's a notion of local and global users so we need an api to return local users, global users, all users, etc. > > There's a notion of local and global wiki pages, but should it matter > for user management ? > >> >> Whenever you talk specific without being able to do something generic you can be sure your API is flawed and this is my main concern with the proposal: I see it very focused on a single need and IMO it hasn't been thought to be generic. While I'm fine with this we need to know it's going to have to be broken very soon and thus it's not really an API and should be internal instead. >> > > I think we know enough our needs to be able to define a specific API > that won't have to be broken. > > Thanks, > JV. > >> It's ok to be minimalistic but it's not ok not to prepare for all the use cases because you'll have to break the api later on. >> >> Thanks >> -Vincent >> >>> >>>> Thanks >>>> -Vincent >>>> >>>> On Sep 17, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Jean-Vincent Drean wrote: >>>> >>>>> Up! >>>>> >>>>> I could commit the code I have if we agree that it is going in the >>>>> good direction. >>>>> I'm thinking about the component implementation proposal in particular: >>>>> http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/UsersModule#HUsersComponent >>>>> >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> JV. >>>>> >>>>> On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Jean-Vincent Drean >>>>> &lt;jean-vincent(a)drean.org&gt;  wrote: >>>>>> Hi Devs, >>>>>> >>>>>> I'd like to introduce a new configuration property that would define >>>>>> at which level users should be handled in a farm. >>>>>> See the proposition about the new entry in xwiki.properties, it should >>>>>> be self-explanatory: >>>>>> >>>>>> --------------------------------8<-------------------------------- >>>>>> #-# [Since 2.5M1] >>>>>> #-# Define at which level users and groups should be handled in the >>>>>> farm.
