Folks,
Started to evaluate this new CAS feature request: https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CAS-1013 Few thoughts: 1. I would imagine that setting up a basic numeric value to indicate order would be much easier to understand than regular expression patterns. I certainly would be in favor of the property, but what I find confusing is that services management UI does not list the registered services by their order, but sorts them using their name. I think this is pretty misleading because you could have service A up at the top with the order 999999 and the user would probably assume that just because it comes first, it gets to be evaluated first as well. I think it'd be better if we modify the UI to sort by evaluation order 2. Why not show the value of the order on the UI in the list of services ? The scenario would be that if I want to register a new service, wouldn't it be easier to know what the order of the new service should be beforehand rather than going back and forth between previously registered services and trying to find what the order should be based on other services? As the original comment on the feature says, if it's on the main services page, it would be a better reminder for it to be updated. 3. I have also looked at ANTLR to see if an existing algorithm already exists. So far, haven't found any other alternative. So, for starters if order really has to go away, how about something like the following priority order: a. Non-pattern URLs b. Longer URLs c. Prefer URLs that use "?" over those that use "**" or "*" Suggestions are welcome. -Misagh -- You are currently subscribed to cas-dev@lists.jasig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/cas-dev
