I started to look at Morpher codebase in Jakarta CVS
because it looks like something I'm currently looking for.
First I'd like to ask, if there's any work on this (it looks
like CVS is untouched since some months)?
Currently it's not being actively developed, but the reasons why it
started are still there and it's still needed. If you want to
help-contribute, I'd be very happy :-)
First set of thoughts
1 add 'equals' and 'hashCode' to ObjectFlavor to let it works in Maps;
2 add
'registerMorpher(String name, String className,
Collection inputFlavors, Collection outputFlavors);
to BasicMorpherFactory;
3 add Map that maps every 'registered' input ObjectFlavor to Map
which map output ObjectFlavor to morpher name (I believe that
there might be a better structure to handle this mapping, right
now it's just HashMap);
4 implement getMorpher(ObjectFlavor, ObjectFlavor) using Map from (3)
(maybe it should support creating piplelines?);
and first question:
If Morpher support ObjectFlavors A, B as input and X, Y as output,
does it support all possible conversions (A->X, A->Y, B->X, B->Y)?
If not, (2) needs to be redefined.
If (1)-(4) are acceptable, patch will come.
