Hi Charith
OK,I'll change the patch by introducing a BUILD_ENVELOPE property to 
send mediator.and attatch to this jira issue


Asankha can you please raise a new issue in jira mentioning the new 
changes that you have purposed.Since IMO attaching fixes to them in 
this jira issue is not a good idea(for the users who will need a track 
in the future).

Sure, SYNAPSE-522

BTW, you can first fix the SYNAPSE-357 using a standard property, and 
then address the new JIRA which would only involve generic changes to 
support any property

I thought exactly the same while reading the original mail. The short name with 
"env" could be quite confusing for new users which are not the deeply involved 
into the technical details. There is often an association Env --> Environment.
I also think that the property approach fits well, especially if more

Yep, glad I was able to think like a user :-) !

I'm not that sure about this one due to missing use cases in mind. Asankha,

I think this should be an AND too.. just threw the options possible

I'm not sure whether the generic approach will always be the best. Increasing 
the number of properties set in the message context increases also the 
complexity. Aren't properties in the message context only important if we need 
them at several different places within the message flow (e.g. at one point in 
the flow they are set and at totally different location they are read?). I'm 
not quite sure about this as I'm still in the process to familiarize with 
Synapse.
In our case now, we are talking about properties which apply exactly for one 
mediator, or? So why using a generic approach, if a direct configuration of a 
specific mediator would be straight and easy to understand?


> Then, we can avoid any configuration changes. 
Hmm. This point I don't get. Do you mean avoid any change of a specific 
mediator factory? Or do you refer to the compatibility of existing 
configurations? I think the latter would not be a problem as we are talking 
about the addition of an optional property.

I know you are quite busy, but if have the time could you please detail you 
thoughts about a possible usage of this concept for the Hessian protocol.
The "problem" with the Hessian case is, that a decision has to be done at 
runtime. Most likely not only Hessian messages may pass a specific sequence, 
but at least the http transport has to behave differently. So this is quite 
hard to handle via a static configuration option. Anyway users are always happy 
for any configuration line to save.

  Eric

I thought exactly the same while reading the original mail. The short name with 
"env" could be quite confusing for new users which are not the deeply involved 
into the technical details. There is often an association Env --> Environment.
I also think that the property approach fits well, especially if more 
properties will follow.

I'm not that sure about this one due to missing use cases in mind. Asankha, 
could you give some examples? I wouldn't like this as an replacement of the 
above option (OR), but would also not be against it as an alternative (AND).

Hi Charith

Do we need configuration changes for this? We can set these properties
using property mediator and then introduces some layer (before sending
message) that do work based on these special properties- special
property handlers. Then, we can avoid any configuration changes.  May
be an abstraction that does decoration around sending. I didn’t look
at possibility of doing this. But, I feel it is doable and it
introduce some extensibility. Even for Hessian case, we may able to
use a special property handler. I just throw an idea...I cannot
validate

Thanks

Hi Asanka,

I like your Idea of having a property other than an attribute.which i think
is a extendible one.So I would like to do that change.
I'll wait till others give there ideas about this matter.

2009-03-18 Thread Asankha C. Perera

Hi Charith

The attribute "buildEnv" may not convey the meaning to someone new.. 
Also, we may have many more such options and thus we should not make 
this a core extension to the languages'  mediator. Can we do this, 
support the specifications of one or more such properties within the 
send mediator - I've wanted to do that for quite some time, and things 
like FORCE_HTTP_1.0, POST_TO_PATH etc, could also more naturally be 
specified there. This could even be at the  level.. I want to 
know what others think too..


My suggestions are:

 
 <... other such properties.../>
 


OR/AND


 
   
   <... other such properties.../>
