Without looking into JIRA and noticing some "Problem fixed" tickets none of us would have noticed (nor voted on;-|) a test balloon towards a possible wrapper around classifier. It could be a future direction to merge both and offer people a migration path from a W3C DDR compliant solution (either OpenDDR, DeviceAtlas, etc.) but in its current form it looks like a hasty shot without consulting anybody in the team (once again)
Only if you dropped those into a demo WAR (or standalone app) similar to those under examples perfectly working for the current W3C DDR implementation and it produced the same results it could pass as replacement or compatible migration path. The few classes I spotted contained at most 3-5 (minimal) properties in a hard-coded array, not the full extent of the current vocabulary we support and maintain in device-data. That's not a complete implementation, hence I don't see it could replace a 1.x release of the DDR client, but with some work by several of us we could get it to become a migration path in the future. The current SimpleDDR module represents a joint effort by dozens of people since late 2011 or in some cases earlier. I contributed it to Apache but I wasn't the only one working on it;-) Werner On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 6:52 PM, Werner Keil <[email protected]> wrote: > So do I. > > You understand it, but just for some others, think of it as options to > access a CMS system via > > - JCR > - WebDAV > - Some proprietary vendor-specific protocol > > While DeviceMap is Open Source, the "Classifier" still doesn't define more > than a proprietary protocol/API as opposed to the one W3C specified. > > Werner > > > On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 6:35 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 6:23 PM, Werner Keil <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > ...None, that's why a new W3C version could read a changed structure >> just >> > like file parsers do.... >> >> Ok cool, so if your W3C client is independent from the format of the >> device data I don't see a problem with it living in parallel with >> other clients. >> >> -Bertrand >> > >
