Organize schema description parsers and value objects
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSHARED-23
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSHARED-23
Project: Directory Shared
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.9.13
Reporter: Alex Karasulu
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9.15
Currently we have the following subpackages under
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema:
- comparator
- parser
- syntax
- syntax.parser
--------------------------------------
Per Package Breakdown
--------------------------------------
Package:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema
At the schema package level you'll find the interfaces and some abstract/base
implementations for the various kinds of schema entities like Syntax,
AttributeType, MatchingRule, ObjectClass etc. Included are also some basic
Normalizer implementations which should be moved into a normalizer subpackage.
Package:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.comparator
This one seems to match it's purpose and it contains some comparator
implementations. If anything needs to be done this should be renamed to
comparators since it will contain many comparators.
Package:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.parser
This package contains an older parser written ages ago to read schema files. I
don't know if it is still in use but we have to check this and if so delete the
classes contained in there. If the parser is in use this package should be
renamed to parsers instead and other parsers for schema entities should be
moved there.
Package:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.syntax
This package contains common syntax implementations as one would intuit from
the name. If anything it's name should be changed to pluralize what it
contains: syntaxes.
Package:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.syntax.parser
This package contains a number of different parsers. Not just the parser for
syntax descriptions but for all kinds of schema entities. It's contents should
be in the org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.parsers package.
NOTE: Some utility classes exist as well and these can be stored in a utils
package under schema. Any other schema entity implementations should fall under
their respective package names even if there's a single implementation class.
