Re: [gatein-dev] GateIn Api Discussion

1/ the content registry is not tied to a particular portal but instead is the same for any site (including group/user) so it should be available on the GateIn interface

2/ I don't get the difference between Portal (which extends Node) and Site (which extends Navigation). A site is a container for pages and navigations. A portal extends a site (as it provides more things). 3/ what does the Node interface describe ? I don't see a real interest in there and it makes things more complex to understand, specially with the generics public interface Navigation<T extends Node<T>> extends GateInObject<Navigation>, Container<Navigation> I think we can afford to use generics, but we cannot afford to use too many generics.

I will re-work completely the navigation use cases based on the recent exchanges when I come back from vacations. I guess the current scope of the API is not as extended as I first thought so there are lots of things that will disappear from the current design. >> >> On Jun 10, 2011, at 5:21 PM, Julien Viet wrote: >> >>> here is an updated version with the notion of site : >>> >>> <5806d87d.png> >>> On Jun 10, 2011, at 4:47 PM, Christophe Laprun wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> On Jun 10, 2011, at 3:33 PM, Julien Viet wrote: >>>> >>>>> indeed this is correct it should be done with a getPortal(String name) / Collection<Portal> getPortals() from your entry point of the API (something like GateIn object of Matt). >>>> >>>> I used to have something like that as well, except that it was used to retrieved the PortalContainers as well, so you could navigate everything. >>>> >>>>> Basically what we aim to do is an API that expose this data structure: >>>>> >>>>> <764a37d6.png> >>>> >>>> What did you use to create the diagram? >>>> >>>> Cordialement / Best, >>>> Chris >>>> >>>> == >>>> Principal Software Engineer / JBoss Enterprise Middleware Red Hat, Inc. >>>> Follow GateIn: http://blog.gatein.org / http://twitter.com/gatein >>>> Follow me: http://metacosm.info/metacosm / http://twitter.com/metacosm >>>> >>> >> >> Cordialement / Best, >> Chris >> >> == >> Principal Software Engineer / JBoss Enterprise Middleware Red Hat, Inc. >> Follow GateIn: http://blog.gatein.org / http://twitter.com/gatein >> Follow me: http://metacosm.info/metacosm / http://twitter.com/metacosm >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> gatein-dev mailing list >> gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/gatein-dev > > Cordialement / Best, > Chris > > == > Principal Software Engineer / JBoss Enterprise Middleware Red Hat, Inc. > Follow GateIn: http://blog.gatein.org / http://twitter.com/gatein > Follow me: http://metacosm.info/metacosm / http://twitter.com/metacosm > > > _______________________________________________ > gatein-dev mailing list > gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/gatein-dev _______________________________________________ gatein-dev mailing list gatein-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/gatein-dev
