[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (TEIIDDES-926) Create persistance and loading mechanism for XML-based Model Extension Definitions

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-926?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Dan Florian commented on TEIIDDES-926: -------------------------------------- Conversation with Barry on 7/8/11 working on extension point and plugin today danflo @ 8:09 cool blafond @ 8:09 ext pt pretty simple ... danflo @ 8:09 a name, a collection of one or more paths to mxd files, and an optional class name of a handler (hope to have default base classes) 8:10 sound good? missing anything? 8:10 I think so blafond @ 8:11 SF and RestEasy will need to be 2 initial contributors 8:11 right danflo @ 8:12 Do you expect multiple mxd files for one contribution? or is that 2 contributions? blafond @ 8:12 was thinking for one contribution. for instance, one plugin can register 2 different namespaces. danflo @ 8:12 k blafond @ 8:13 not sure that makes sense but never know danflo @ 8:13 right blafond @ 8:13 How do we handle users creating new MXD's in their workspace? They pulled into the registry in a different way? 8:14 this is also a design I'm throwing around: per contribution there is an optional handler for each mxd (rather than one optional handler per contribution) danflo @ 8:15 need to talk over that scenario but you said that we don't need that for 7.5 8:15 ok ^^ blafond @ 8:16 right, but want to make sure we have a design in our heads 8:16 I've thought about that … do we make them "add" a new mxd to a registry or do we just discover them using resource change events on project open/close, delete, etc. and there might be other approaches. danflo @ 8:17 ya. not sure. Sure would be nice to have a "non-workspace" location that can be used to persist a user's "personal/enterprise" resources blafond @ 8:18 Do we make them "Define" one the first time they 1) Create New MXD or 2) Import MXD into workspace (or discovered)?? 8:19 otp danflo @ 8:20 all good questions … kind of leaning toward not discovering them and having a view that shows the mxd registry where they can add, delete, edit, import, etc. but need to talk all of it through later with ya danflo @ 8:25 I'm leaning in that same direction. Thinking that Model Extensions are NOT project/vdb/".workspace" centric so we need another paradigm blafond @ 8:26 right danflo @ 8:27 Not sure if any other JBoss project has a feature that works like this or not. blafond @ 8:27 I'll ping Fitz 8:27 remember all that is for post 7.5 danflo @ 8:27 right blafond @ 8:28 If it was me, I'd set up DTP connection profiles/drivers in this way. Right now it's per .workspace -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
