Hi everyone, I trust you all had a good easter break :-)
This is a propasal for the introduction of implicit precondition checking in matchers. Please refer to Bug 7713 for more information!! You can find the patch for this proposal as a part of Bug 7713. Here I outline some of the reasoning for this proposal... While writing a large c2 based application we have come to the conclusion that matchers with built-in *implicit* checks would be desirable. For Example, instead of using a "valid session checker action" in *every* single pipeline in the sitemap to secure against clients who do not have sessions, we simply configure a matcher with a "session-exists precondition". That way, we simplify sitemap pipelines, which we find are already too large and complex. There are several advantages with implicit matcher checking including, simplified sitemaps, scalablity, easier development with developers not having to remember to always include certian actions, hiding of unnecessary and repetitive information, etc Of course precondition matchers are not useful in every situation, but are of best advantage when ones finds themselves using the same general actions in a lot of the sitemap pipelines. Any comments?
