    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12456603#action_12456603 ] 

Maurice Zeijen commented on JBIDE-3974:
---------------------------------------

I hadn't noticed that you can use the properties perspective on the connections. Some features in there will probably make some of my feature requests different. Sorry about that.

Regarding the Selector generate policies, I think only three policies would make sense:
 - Shortest/Safest path 
 - Full path 

The "Shortest/Safest" path policy would make the other three policies obsolete, because it would select the best path possible.

> Currently the graph editor uses the full selector path. Always using the full selector path may seem the safest path but it can have serious performance implications for Smooks. A binding with a short selector is resolved faster then one with a long selector. It would be better if the graph editor would use the shortest unique selector path. 
> Example:
> <order>
>    <customer>
>       <id>432</id>
>    </customer>
>     <order-items>
>         <order-item>
>             <id>111</id>
>             <quantity>2</quantity>
>             <price>8.90</price>
>         </order-item>
>     </order-items>
> </order>
> If you would bind the 'id' element of order-item to some bean then currently the following path would be generated by the graph editor: order order-items order-item id
> If the graph editor would generate the shortest unique path, then it would be: order-item id
