I'm down with proposal #2 but I have to ask: would this work with realtime, and how?


(In this response, I refer to the new configuration type as a "compound type" since I also refer to sorcery wizards, which are a different thing.)

I'm thinking about it, and as long as compound types are restricted to read-only data, it could be made to work with realtime, but it would take some sorcery adjustments. The has_* options would have to be understood at the sorcery level, so that when sorcery is told "retrieve endpoint foo", sorcery can know to either retrieve the endpoint foo directly or through a compound type foo that has an endpoint. The realtime wizard would simply return the entire compound type, and the sorcery core would extract an endpoint from the returned data.

The other difficult part about realtime is that sorcery.conf relates sorcery types to entries in extconfig.conf. This means that you would likely want to have different "type=" for your different compound types so that each can be stored in different database tables. This takes away from the ease of just doing "type=wizard" that was proposed. You'd probably need to have a section in sorcery.conf to tell sorcery the names of types that are compound types. To illustrate, here's what I'm thinking:

(sorcery.conf)
[compound_types]
types = phone,trunk

or possibly ensure some level of type-safety by specifying what types the compound types are composed of:

[compound_types]
phone=endpoint,auth,aor

(pjsip.conf)
[my_phone]
type=phone
has_endpoint=yes
has_aor=yes
...

When sorcery processes "my_phone", it sees type=phone and knows based on sorcery.conf that this is a compound type and can create individual objects based on the configuration it comes across.
