[dna-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (DNA-82) Break TextEncoder interface into two interfaces: one for encoding and one for decoding

Break TextEncoder interface into two interfaces: one for encoding and one for decoding -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DNA-82 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/DNA-82 Project: DNA Issue Type: Task Components: Common Reporter: Randall Hauch Assigned To: Randall Hauch Fix For: 0.2 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour Currently, the org.jboss.dna.common.text.TextEncoder interface has two methods: encode(String):String and decode(String):String. Using a single reference to a TextEncoder (often times for decoding purposes) is confusing and relies upon documentation or parameter naming to make the purpose clear. It would be better to have a separate TextEncoder and TextDecoder interfaces, and to use those interfaces in the appropriate places. In some (rare?) situations where an encoder and decoder are required, two parameters or member attributes will be required. Overall, this should be an improvement. The current implementations (JCR, URL, NoOp) can all just implement both interfaces.
