Hi guys,
last week, I was doing some good progress. Last sunday (which is
yesturday for those who read this mail on monday), I hit a wall when I
was trying to fix the few remaining bugs : some missing code to manage
schema update (Alex kindly added some @TODO elecharny in two places in
the code ;)
What happened is that when disabling or enabling a schema, we have to
disable or enable all of its associated elements (AT,,OC, etc). There
are two ways to do that.
- First, brute force. We read each registry, and for each registry, we
pick each schemaObject, and check if it's associated with the schema to
enable/disable. Quite subtile ...
- Second, a lighter solution. The idea is to have each schemaObject
directly associated with its schema. This is the way I have picked, of
course. That leadd to some complication, as each schemaObject
addition/deletion/move as to be reflected in this association.
Typically, I had to add a <SchemaName, List<SchemaObject>> map which
associates a schema with all of its declared SchemaObject. But that not
that simple, as this data structure is stored in the Registries, which
is not accessible by each SchemaObject. Long story short : a hell of
refactoring to do.
I'm not totally done with that, as I also had to refactor all the
synchronizers, but getting close.
I hope it's the last wall I will hit !
