Hi all,
I would like to go ahead with committing
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4775 before the 2.2 final release
(because I would like annotations to work as clean as possible on 2.2 final).
In order to do that, we need to agree on a set of separators for the object name
and property name.
There have been the following proposals so far:
A wiki:Space.Page^objectName#property
B wiki:Space.Page^objectName$property
which has received some votes in http://markmail.org/thread/uihq4mmwgaufbcz6 but
I personally would stay away from # and $ separators since they're reserved
characters in velocity scripting language and it might be uncomfortable for
using refs in scripts.
+1, i would prefer we stay away of velocity keywords
Also, we had:
C wiki:Space.Page^objectName;property
+0.5, ; look weird to me (no better argument)
and also:
D wiki:Space.Page:objectName.property
-1, too hard to read for user and know what is wiki name, object etc.
another proposal:
E wiki:Space.Page^objectName^property
Which one would you prefer? Any other proposals?
And you ? ;)
Any separator should be easy to implement, and roughly anything could be used as
a separator (so feel free to propose).
Note that there is an alternative to this, to make annotations implementable on
2.2: only add the two entity types (Object and Object Property) along with
making the string serializer and string resolver extensible so one could add its
own separators for the 2 new types.
Object and Object Property are standard entity and should be supported
by default anyway. If you implement it with some separators in
annotation and separator chosen for standard are not the same it will
be a pain to get rid of your custom code in annotation.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca
