[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Add support for specifying relative document names

Hi Devs, Currently DocumentNames generated by DocumentNameFactory contains the fully qualified document name at all times. And when they are serialized using DocumentNameSerializer, they result in the fully qualified document name string like "wiki:space.name". The problem with this is that new xwiki components using DocumentAccessBridge cannot use relative document names. For an example, "parent" field of a document cannot be set w.r.t the current wiki because the "wiki:" part is always appended by default (by the serializer). So we need a mechanism to specify "what kind of document name" we mean (relative or absolute). We can achive this in many ways: 1. Allow pasing a Serializer into methods which takes in a DocumentName. 2. Allow associating a Serilizer with a DocumentName. 3. Use Execution as a means of passing the preferred Serializer 4. Use a flag inside DocumentName (ABSOLUTE, WIKI_RELATIVE, SPACE_RELATIVE) which will be intepretted by the Serializer appropriately whenever a DocumentName is serialized. None of the above approaches are perfectly clean. But the fourth approach seems to make more sense. I'm +1 for 4. Thanks. - Asiri
