We also will add a Function implementation for functions which are more or
less stand alone (plus a way in taglib to call them). These functions are
defined in XMLs (in config/functions) , and can call any java functionality
(using reflection). They can be grouped in 'sets' (like namespaces). Think
of e.g. a 'forum' set of functions like 'removeThread', 'addForum' etc...
I really like the idea of this hack, but i would like to have a firm idea of the hack before voting.
Your email discusses the use of functions in taglibs, how are you going to implement this ?
Something like:
<mm:node>
<mm:function name="function name">
<mm:parameter name="parameter name">value</mm:parameter>
</mm:function>
</mm:node>The thing that interests me even more is how do you want to implement this in the MMCI ?
Which extra methods are required and on which classes ?
You are also talking about xml definitions for the functions. Is it also possible to use reflection instead of making additional xml files that are a description of the actual classes ? Could you give an example of such a xml file, and where are you going to store these files ?
I also saw editors with which you can make the xml definitions, are they part of this vote ?
