I have not that much problem with the sitemap stuff, it shouldn't be
that hard to migrate them. I'm more concerned about the Core and
Settings objects, that is part of the trunk contract and that doesn't
fit well into a splited up non-monolithic architecture.
Hmm, which external contracts are affected by how the "framework" works? The
only contract I see is where block.xml is located (/META-INF/block.xml) and
which XML (defined by the namespace). This way the framework (and the deployer)
find out whether they can work with a given block or not. Do you see any other
dependencies?
Currently you can configure the deployer which blocks-fw you want to use (which
is the actual core IMHO) and blocks-fw depends on the legacy core. As said, this
is completly unrelated to the blocks.
Do you have a roadmap on what's open?
* Component handling - design issues
ok, that's the main question that needs to be answered
* Logging - I put it in the BlocksManager but didn't give it much
thought, here is a new chance for all logging enthusiasts to discuss ;)
hehe
* Multi part MIME handling - not part of the blocks architecture to
simplify things, would make most sense to put in a ServletFilter IMO
ok (haven't thought about this yet)
* Error handling - there is sophisticated creation of error messages in
the CocoonServlet, where is the right place for it in the blocks
architecture?
ok (haven't thought about this yet either)
* JARed blocks - the BlocksManager assumes that the wiring location
points to unpacked blocks, implement support for packed blocks.
ok, IMHO a nice to have for me and transparent for the user.
Do you mind if I create JIRA tasks for them? I would like to use the roadmap
feature of JIRA to make it visible for lurkes on what we are doing.
