The best way would to do this by styling the output with CSS. Instead of

Therefore I'm in favor of keeping it the way it currently is, as a decorator to ezcPersistentSession. Either someone had problems with too many objects of the same type and wrapped an identity session around a current PO version, or he never had an issue, which means he doesnt care about wheater an etnity is == or !==. Still if that is not an option i would go with your suggestions, otherwise ezcPersistentSessionInterface is also a good one. ezcPersistentSessionInterface would be more clear, yes.

Re: [Components] Hostname Based Routing in MvcTools
On Tue, 7 Apr 2009, Christoph Friedrich wrote:
as I could see in the example tutorial of the MvcTools Documentation
there is currently only URI Based routing.
Is the a way to implement Hostname Based routing?
For example: http://foo.bar.ez.no should call action display on

So that someone could implement an admin interface onto a subdomain.
It's quite trivial to do this, but you need to inherit the
ezcMvcRailsRoute class and overload match(). Something like the code
below. Notice that there is only one line changed with the standard
ezcMvcRailsRoute class' match() function. I think we should refactor
this so that it's easier to just override that specific bit. I'll try to
do that in an upcoming commit:
class myMvcRoute extends ezcMvcRailsRoute
{
/**
* This method performs the actual pattern match against the $request's
* URI.
*
* @param ezcMvcRequest $request
* @param array(string) $matches
* @return bool
*/
protected function match( $request, $matches )
{
$matches = array();
// first we split the pattern and request ID per /
$patternParts = explode( '/', $this-pattern );
$requestParts = explode( '/', $request-requestId ); /* changed from
$request-uri */
// if the number of / is not the same, it can not match
if ( count( $patternParts ) != count( $requestParts ) )
{
return false;
}
// now loop over all parts of the pattern, and see if it matches with
// the request URI
foreach ( $patternParts as $id = $patternPart )
{
if ( $patternPart == '' || $patternPart[0] != ':' )
{
if ( $patternPart !== $requestParts[$id] )
{
return false;
}
}
else
{
if ( $requestParts[$id] == '' )
{
return false;
}
$matches[substr( $patternPart, 1 )] = $requestParts[$id];

It's most likely because an error is thrown, and you don't have a proper
/fatal error handler yet. This will make things loop. You'll have to
find out whey the error is thrown. You can do so with using xdebug and
setting xdebug.show_exception_trace to 1

I wrote a requirements document for such a component which you can find attached to this mail. As you will see from the requirements document.

Jan 2009) $ Introduction Description --- The SystemProcess component presents a set of features to execute and handle external applications in an easy and manageable way. It takes care of the underlying system calls and specialties like different path formatting or signal handling to provide a platform independent but yet flexible way to work with external applications. Furthermore it automagically escapes the given command or argument parts to make code injection less easy and ensure correct command execution. Current implementation -- The currently available implementation provides easy means to handle synchronous as well as asynchronous program executions using the proc_* function set from php. It is fully unit tested. At the current development stage it is does not ensure any cross platform compatibility with windows or any other system them plain Linux. Nevertheless it should also work on other \*nix based systems. Because of not taking windows support into account, currently no way of cross platform path creation is implemented either. It is available at:: svn://svn.pureenergy.cc/systemProcess Requirements The SystemProcess component needs to fulfill the following requirements from the current point of view: Execution - - Provide an easy but yet effective way of executing external processes, retrieving their output after they finished. (Synchronous execution) - Provide means to read from the file descriptors (STDOUT, STDERR, custom descriptors) an executed process provides during while it is currently running. (Asynchronous execution) - Provide a string representation of the built shell command without necessarily executing it. - Receive the probably non zero exit codes after process execution finished. - Send arbitrary POSIX signals to an asynchronously running process. (This can obviously not be done on windows systems.) - Terminate a currently running process. This is only feasible for asynchronously running processes where such operations can be triggered while the process is running. It would also be good to have an overview of which processes are running as children so that an interface can be presented that allows you to watch the status (running, alive, dead, stopped, terminated) and perhaps kill them. Another possibility perhaps could be to spawn in one go multiple processed as worker threads. Design goals The workflow of a creating a SystemProcess object applying certain arguments as well as options to it and finally spawning the process should be intuitive as possible. The best way to achieve such an intuitive API would be to design it having the fluent interface pattern in mind. The used interface should look something like this:: new ezcSystemProcess( 'echo' )-argument( 'foo' )-execute(); Method chaining can not be done with new classname, so it has to be: $p = new ezcSystemProcess( 'echo' ); $p-argument( 'foo' )-execute(); regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans eZ components Product Manager eZ systems | http://ez.no -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components

I don't think this is anything that we (ez components team) can do about unfortunately, as we just call APC's store() and fetch() functions. I just spoke to the guy, and apparently the issue is a too high rate of insertions by multiple processes concurrently. If every process uses the same APC key to store, they conflict and only one of them wins and the other leave a hole in the memory space. This should not take the server down though. He says he's already working on improving this, and this should hit CVS soon (ie, before the end of the month). He also suggests that you try the current CVS version of APC to see if that already solves the taking down of the server. Could you perhaps try that? regards, Derick -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components
[Components] eZ Components 2008.2 released
Hello, The development team is happy to announce the release of the seventh major version of eZ Components: version 2008.2. New Components The main new development of this release is focused on the MvcTools (and accompanying) components. MvcTools The MvcTools component implements the tools for an framework. Instead of dedicating the structure of the application, it provides a dispatcher, two request parsers (one for HTTP, and one for e-mail message through the Mail component), two routing methods, two views handlers (one through plain PHP scripts, and one through the Template component) and a response writer for HTTP. The tools that are currently implemented, will in later releases be used by a Framework component. There are currently two example applications available in the eZ Components SVN repository. A simple HelloMvc application, as well as a more advance application called TheWire that implements a twitter like internal-messaging system. The HelloMvc application is also described in the MvcTools tutorial. Other Improvements Main improvements in this release include support for more formats in the Document component and support for Webdav locking and authentication. Document The Document component enables you to convert documents between different formats. Previously, it would convert ReST to XHTML and DocBook. DocBook is intermediate format for most of the conversions. In this release more formats are implemented, such as three different wiki formats (Confluence, Creole and DokuWiki), the eZ Publish XML formats, as well as reading XHTML (before it could only output to XHTML) and writing ReST (before it could only parse ReST). The wiki parser can easily be extended for other wiki formats. Webdav The Webdav component now supports authentication and authorization as well as support for integration of authentication mechanisms into your already existing systems. In addition, it supports shared and exclusive write locks, even with your custom storage back-ends. Statistics For this release, the development team addressed 55 bugs, implemented 43 new features and completed 14 tasks - 112 issues in total. For the full ChangeLog, please refer to the full release announcement that you can find online here: http://ezcomponents.org/resources/news/news-2009-01-05 with kind regards, -- Derick Rethans eZ components Product Manager eZ systems | http://ez.no -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components

Re: [Components] New Component Proposal
On Mon, 15 Dec 2008, Kevin Waterson wrote:
My proposal is for an ezcForm component.
The ezcForm component would provide an interface to the creation
of HTML form objects which may be rendered for use with templates.
Each form element would be an object which whose properties would
define how the form would be rendered.
eg:
?php
$form = new ezcForm;
$form-setMethod('post');
$form-setId('my_form_id');
$form-setAction($url);
Usually, we would just use properties for this, and not setter methods.
$select = new ezcFormSelect;
$select-options($array)
-setLabel('My Select')
-setId('my_select_id');
$submit = new ezcFormSubmit;
$submit-setValue('Click Me')
-setScript('onclick=do_some_js');
$form-render(array($select, $submit));
?
Also proposed, is the ability to attach validators directly to
to each object.
?php
$txt = new ezcFormText;
$text-setName=email)
-setId(email)
-setLabel('Enter Email')
-setRequired(true)
-setValidator(ezcFormValidateEmail);
?
In this instance, ezcFormValidateEmail could be a call back to
new ezcInputFormDefinitionElement(
ezcInputFormDefinitionElement::REQUIRED, 'validate_email'
)
An ezcForm component will provide a comprehensive suite of
easy to use form objects with an easy to use API. Forms will
initially be defined insite a definition list, but other
markup should not be hard to build in.
Larson was working on something similar at some time in
experimental, but after a quick chat on IRC he described his
as overly complex.
I'd be nice to have some frontend/backend interaction going on here
where you have both client- and server-side validation. The widget thing
that Larson had was a bit complex, but it does provide some good ideas
as well.

Derick

REQUIRED means that the form that is sent should contain *a* value, not that it can't be empty. (We have a feature request for that at activeItem=2) After that, the filter (string, int, validate_email) runs over it and might invalidate it. This happens for int (as an empty string is 0) and for email (because it can not be empty and needs to contain an @ etc). 2) When I change REQUIRED to ezcInputFormDefinitionElement::OPTIONAL, nothing seems to change. Correct, because I suppose in your case, all 4 form elements were actually sent. So how do I make an e-mail field optional, as in validate the field if some value provided?

Re: [Components] SOAP component / ezcMail Mime Handling
Hello, On Wed, 23 Jul 2008, Andreas Schamberger wrote: Before I get to some problems I had with the MIME code in ezcMail I want to raise an important question: How do we solve the problem that we don't rely on other components and don't want to duplicate code either? By not adding a SOAP component with MIME support? ;) Any comments? We'd need to split out the MIME handling support into perhaps it's own component. I don't know how feasible that is -- I've little idea on how SOAP deals with MIME as well - would you have a link to some summarized information? Generally speaking it was quite easy to (ab)use the MIME handling for my purpose, but I had some troubles with the MIME classes: a) ezcMailMultipart::$noMIMEMessage has some text to inform mail clients without MIME support about this problem. It is not possible to disable this and therefore I also had these messages in my SOAP messages. In my case it didn't cause any problems with the server (connecting to amazon), but it definitely shouldn't be there. Can we add an option to disable this? Yes, sure. Please file a feature request for it. With patch and tests would be even better :) b) ezcMailVirtualFile (all ezcMailFile classes I think) has a fixed encoding (base64) and it is not possible to change it. Why is the encoding fixed? In other parts of the MIME code one can configure that (e.g. ezcMailText)? Therefore I had to extend the class to get the required 8-bit for my XML attachments. Which other encodings would you want? Quoted-printable doesn't really work so well for 8-bit files. And it's also not safe to put raw 8-bit data into either e-mail or XML as far as I know. c) When parsing a MIME message the detected files are saved to a temporary file on disk. Why? To save memory resources. You can't really expect mail to not come with 50mb attachments - which would quickly fill up the memory. For the SOAP component this is unnecessary overhead as I want to inject the data into the result XML of the SOAP request afterwards. An option to use ezcMailVirtualFile (instead of ezcMailFile) as target would be cool. I think that would be useful to have as well - as an option. I think we already allow setting some overrides for class names (through http://ezcomponents.org/docs/api/latest/Mail/ezcMailParserOptions.html), so adding another similar option would be great to have. Again, a feature request and/or patches with tests would be useful :) Ok, that's it for now. If you finally don't remember what this confusingly written mail is all about: - possible new ezcSoap component I've a question for you here as well - would this sit on top of PHP's SOAP extension, or something totally new?

ezcMvcRequestBuilder
I think the name of this class is a bit strange. I'd favor to call it
ezcMvcRequestParser. I think this sounds more common.
That's the name we had previously, but as some people pointed out: This
class does not *parse* a request - it builds a request object from the
raw request data. RequestParser would sortof indicate it accepted a
request object already, instead of creating one. This is why we changed
it to ezcMvcRequestBuilder.
ezcMvcRequestFilter
---
The filters are described to be used in a method named
ezcMvcController-runRequestFilters(), while this method should be
called by ezcMvcController-run(). It does make little sense to me to
mention that a method ezcMvcController-runRequestFilters() should be
implemented at all, if the controller calls the filter itself.
Instead I would suggest to design it in either of the following ways:
a) Remove the ezcMvcController-runRequestFilters() part and just
mention that filters should be run by the controller.
b) Require the method ezcMvcController-runRequestFilters() in the
interface and make it be run by the request builder.
The reason for not calling the interface methods just run() is so that
you can implement all the three filter interfaces in one class:
ezcMvcAuthenticationFilter implements ezcRequestFilter, ezcResultFilter,
ezcResponseFilter.
The filters should indeed just be run by the controller from the run()
method in some way. I think you're right that we can just remove it.
(your point a). As for b, that would be a bad idea, as the request
builder doesn't actually run the controller, but just returns the
request object. The dispatcher calls the controller with this request
object. How the controller runs the filter, should not really matter -
however, I think it would be good to standardize it, and thus leave it
in the interface like we've currently designed.
ezcMvcRequest
-
The class defines a $content and a $variables attribute. Where is the
difference here?
In case of GET/POST requests, there are only variables, files, etc. So
not content. In case of PUT requests, there might be content, but no
variables. Shouldn't this be unified? In case of a SOAP request, there
are only variables, too, but no content.
It's a struct, so I don't see what you're trying to say here.
ezcMvcRequestAuthentication
---
This class defines an $identifier and $password field. These fields only
make sense for authentications as Basic-Auth. However, in case of e.g.
OpenID, they are not available. Such differences should be abstracted in
the class.
That's why this is just part of the stuct as a property of
ezcMvcRequest. It can be absent of course.
ezcMvcRequestFile
-
This class defines an attribute $status. What is this meant for?
Upload status field, see:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
ezcMvcRequestUserAgent
--
This struct only defines 1 attribute. Therefore it looks like overhead
to me. We can simply store the user agent as a string in the
ezcMvcRequest object. Or am I wrong?
It's good to normalize this values sometimes - feature enhancements
could extend this to extract browsecap information into this struct.
ezcMvcRawRequest
-
I think that this class should not contain anything, but just work as a
base class for all raw request classes, to allows proper instanceof
checks. E.g.:
ezcMvcRawHttpRequest extends ezcMvcRawRequest
{
// Whatever the request contains...
// ... PHPs super global arrays make sense here...
}
ezcMvcRawSoapRequest extends ezcMvcRawRequest
{
// Whatever the request contains...
// ... objects from ext/soap make sense here...
}
I agree. The request hierachy should be:

The reason for not calling the interface methods just run() is so that
you can implement all the three filter interfaces in one class:
ezcMvcAuthenticationFilter implements ezcRequestFilter, ezcResultFilter,
ezcResponseFilter.
The filters should indeed just be run by the controller from the run()
method in some way. I think you're right that we can just remove it.
(your point a). As for b, that would be a bad idea, as the request
builder doesn't actually run the controller, but just returns the
request object. The dispatcher calls the controller with this request
object. How the controller runs the filter, should not really matter -
however, I think it would be good to standardize it, and thus leave it
in the interface like we've currently designed.
If we go for standardizing it, then why not simply make the dispatcher
run that stuff? This avoids having all controllers run this methods.
See my reply to your other mail.
ezcMvcRequest
-
The class defines a $content and a $variables attribute. Where is the
difference here?
In case of GET/POST requests, there are only variables, files, etc. So
not content. In case of PUT requests, there might be content, but no
variables. Shouldn't this be unified? In case of a SOAP request, there
are only variables, too, but no content.
It's a struct, so I don't see what you're trying to say here.
The point is, that $variables and $content is redundant.
No, they are not. For PUT you have both content and variables (a la
GET).
ezcMvcRequestAuthentication
---
This class defines an $identifier and $password field. These fields only
make sense for authentications as Basic-Auth. However, in case of e.g.
OpenID, they are not available. Such differences should be abstracted in
the class.
That's why this is just part of the stuct as a property of
ezcMvcRequest. It can be absent of course.
The point is not the absense, but the different needs for authentication
mechanisms. Is this struct meant to be extended for different
authentication methods? As I said, OpenID is an example where you don't
have username and password. Token based authentication is another
example. Maybe someone wants to realize GPG key based authentication?
Sure, but all the other things that you mention, is not request data. So
it's not important.

Yes, easier testability.
It would only make sense, if createResponse() is defined in a

ezcMvcProductHtmlViewHandler extends ezcMvcViewHandler
{
public function createResponse( ezcMvcResult $result )
{
// Prepare the product result for HTML output...
// ... return a HTML response object
}
}
The preparring is done by the controller, I don't see why you should
prepare the result from the controller in the view again...
ezcMvcHtmlViewSomething extends ezcMvcViewSomething
{
public function handleResponse( ezcMvcHtmlResponse $response )
{
// Process a template and print the result...
}
}
The handleResponse method should just send the output and set the
correct HTTP headers.
The point is, that the controller just returns an abstract result
object, that could potentially be send as any kind of response (HTML
over HTTP, HTML stored to a file, SOAP response, Email). The view
handler is then up to transform the result in such a way that it can be
send as the protocol specific response (a template object - aka
ezcMvcHtmlResponse for HTML output, an ezcMail object, a SOAP
response,...). This view handler is somewhat dependant on the controller.
Yes, so you have a view handler for each specific protocol. The
ViewManager uses protocol data to find out which view handler to create,

On Wed, 25 Jun 2008, Tobias Schlitt wrote: Please review the design draft and post your comments here. Some comments: Inside this method, first it should be checked if the same find query was already performed earlier. In this case, a cached result set can be returned. You can't really do that, as the data might have changed - unless you empty this whole cache when you run save() (and that's not mentioned). The methods that are not supported by the new class will be declared private and throw an exception is used externally. That doesn't work, you can't lower the visibility in inherited classes. See also the description of ezcPersistentIdentitySession further down. IN Functionality there are lots of nested arrays - our guidelines state that we shouldn't do that but use structs instead. 3. Query cache This is tricky, as you don't really know the query often, as it can have parameterized queries for use with prepared statements. Records the set of $relatedObjects to belong to $object. $relatedObjects must all be of the same type. The array may also contain objects that have already been recorded. These are then replaced. WHy do they need to be of the same type? find( ezcQuerySelect $query, string $class, bool $refetch = false ) Shouldn't $refetch be true by default? The keys of the array structure represent persistent class names. A key might either be assigned to the value true or to another array of relatives to fetch. True means fetch the desired relatives, but no further ones in this direction. An array as the value describes to fetch further relatives for the relative. Is this array structure recursive? For example, if the myLocation class defines a persistent attribute $city, an alias myLocation_city will be available. The myAddress-$zip property will be available through the alias myRepsonsible_myAddress_zip. The prefixing with all ascending classes is necessary to avoid conflicts if relations to one class should be resolved in different places. You'd need to check limits for the size of aliases here. - PersistentObject allows multiple relations between the same PHP classes (see design 1.4). This leads to problems in the definition of the $relations array provided to the createFindQuery() method. It needs to be figured out how this information can be encoded there. Can't you simply use the property names instead of the classname of the relation? The property names are unique here. regards, Derick -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components

I consider it to be very important for clean code to separate the input validation from any action or logic. This can be best reached by having different methods for this two tasks. You can not do this, as it is up to the application code (controller/action) to decide what is valid input or not. Therefore, all sorts of input validation *has* to be done in the controller's action.

HTTP Request Parser

Reminder: the request parser creates the abstract input object.
0) Should it allow plugins?
no
1) Should filter anything?
no
2) Should all the GET/POST variables be mixed together?
yes
Given that it would be bad form to have a GET and POST variable of the same
name on the same request, I'd agree with this. The system should give higher
priority to POST vars vs GET vars to help avoid very simple variable
spoofing.
I think it should still be configurable though - atleast the order of
overriding.
3) Should all uploaded files info be in something like $input-files?
yes
What would the interface for this look like? Suppose I have two fields on my
input form that take files, maybe input type=file name=picture / and
input type=file name=resume /. Would this be $input-files['resume'] and
$input-files['picture']?
Perhaps a cleaner implementation would be to have an object that represents
the uploaded file, and mix that in with the other input fields.
Let's suppose we have a form with these fields: name(text), email(text),
picture(file), and resume(file). Maybe my input structure would look like
this:
$input-parameters: Array('name'='Bob Example', 'email'='[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'picture'=[some object representing an uploaded file], 'resume'=[some
object representing an uploaded file])
We could have something like an HTTPUploadedFile class with attributes for
file name, mime type, size, tmp file name, and error code. A saveTo() method
that calls move_uploaded_file would offer some syntatic sugar as well. Then
I could say things
like: $input-parameters['resume']-saveTo('resumes/xyz.doc');
Thoughts?
Sounds like an idea.
