Hi team, Marcus Crafter proposed a while ago a new style of Selector that would allow to factorize some common computation for all <map:when> cases instead of starting from scratch a each case as it is today. This is especially useful when the data that has to be tested is costly to obtain compared to the time of the actual test (e.g. select on a user role that is fetched in a database).
All this is decribed in http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=101619559107566&w=4 and http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7244 Marcus originally called it "ContextualizableSelector", but this seemed inappropriate since there are already many Context objects around in Cocoon. So a better name came which was "SwitchStyleSelector" for its analogy with the switch construct in Java, whereas the current Selector is more analogous to if/else-if constructs. So there are two questions : - do you want this new style of selector ? +1 - do you have a better name than "SwitchStyleSelector" ? I personally don't have ;) Sylvain -- Sylvain Wallez Anyware Technologies Apache Cocoon http://www.anyware-tech.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
