Hi devs,
While working on XWIKI-9200 (which is done expect for that little
question ;)) I found that there is no API to check if a document exist
in specific language. You have to do a custom query.
Since I would like to make my code as readable as possible and
considering that we will have to do it eventually anyway here it is:
two choices:
1) add support for reference locale in XWiki#exist and
XWiki#getDocument as well as XWikiHibernateStore#exists. Both
XWikiHibernateStore#loadXWikiDoc and XWikiCacheStore are already
taking into account the locale since they are based on the id (so this
would also be about consistency)
2) introduce new methods like XWiki#existsWithLocale,
XWiki#getDocumentWithLocale and XWikiStoreInterface#existsWithLocale
(and the corresponding implementations)
WDYT ?
2) is obviously the safest but I can't find method names I like. I
would be OK with 1) if everyone is strongly for it but it's probably a
bit dangerous so my vote goes to 2) for now.
