i haven't had a look at this patch in detail but i'd like the chance to take a decent look and have a little think about it before it's committed.
FWIW, my gut instinct is that modifying basic rules is the wrong way to implement this feature and there has to be a better way. a self configuring object would have to know about the matching ruleset in order to create the appropriate matching patterns. the pattern matching rules we have at the moment are fairly compatible but there has been demand for pattern matching rules using incompatible patterns (eg. XPath). the other possible wrinkle is that large rulesets are difficult enough to debug as it is - but by allowing self-configuring object to dynamically change the rules, debugging these rulesets could become nearly impossible. - robert On Thursday, December 13, 2001, at 03:51 PM, Mika Goeckel wrote: > Hi, > > please find attached my changes to Digester, ObjectCreateRule and > ObjectCreationFactory + two new interfaces (source in the jar). > I think my docu is not that good -- English is not my mother tongue. > > Some example is in the documentation of SelfConfigureObject. > > Looking forward to your comments. > > Mika > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. > org> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. > org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
