Re: todo list for Flow

[Ovidiu Predescu]

Yes, you're right, I'll do it. The file I've just added in the source directory was forgotten in the old src/scratchpad/schecoon/ directory.

Regards,
Ovidiu

Ovidiu, perhaps you should follow our example
of a todo list for docs, to get your list out in
the open.
src/documentation/xdocs/plan/todo-doc.xml

Having it hidden in with the Java code does not really
encourage people to work on it.

Revision Changes Path
1.1 xml-cocoon2/src/java/org/apache/cocoon/components/flow/TODO

Index: TODO
===================================================================
HIGH:
=====

- implement a background thread that expires continuations. Currently
continuations are created and have to be removed manually by the
developer at the exit from a flow function. Such a thread would
expire continuations which are not accessed in a while.

- [done] remove dependency on PipelinesNode. Use Redirector instead.

- [done] implement sendPageAndContinue()

MEDIUM:
=======

- replace <map:parameter> in sitemap with <map:argument>

- pass the bizData and the continuation as arguments to the Request
instead of Environment, to prevent clashes with the SourceResolver.

- allow the ability to specify the continuation handler function in
cocoon.xconf, or even better in <map:continue>.

- implement a transformer for JPath, in addition to the jpath.xsl
logicsheet. This should allow template pages to be created without the
need for XSP, which requires a Java compiler. This should make
Schecoon run on MacOS X, which doesn't provide tools.jar with the
JDK. The transformer should also be a lot faster than the XSP
approach.

WISH LIST:
==========

- [ADVANCED] implement leaky bucket algorithm or similar to protect
the server from creating too many continuations.

- [ADVANCED] define a boolean parameter, to be set in either
cocoon.xconf or web.xml, that specifies that session affinity is to be
used when creating continuations. This means that when the root node
in a WebContinuation tree is created, a session object is also
created. This allows for continuations to be created and looked up on
the same app server in clustered servers.

- [ADVANCED] add support for serializing continuations in a database,
for long-lived transactions.
