Hi Lenya devs,

to sum up the recent UUID discussion:

From my point of view, the next step would be to use UUIDs to
identify documents. That would mean that the default persistence
mechanism would store documents in a flat structure which would
look like this:


  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000
  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000.meta


is 550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000 (without suffix meta) the
actual content? I guess you are refering to the reference to the resource,
right?

It would be the name of the file which contains the actual content.

I think this is exactly the problem, that a URL doesn't have to correspond to exactly one resource within a repository, be it referenced by UUID or whatever and I think this is what we need to
change within Lenya



  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440231
  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440231.meta
  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655443402
  550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655443402.meta


Do you share this opinion?


if we are talking about a default persistance manager then yes, but
if this would be hardcoded, then no ;-)

The question is if the persistence manager should get any
information apart from the UUID. If only the UUID is provided,
there won't be a chance to use human-readable file names.

right, IIRC this is what Jackrabbit does and I think it's wrong, whereas it might be good practice, but I think one should give people the freedom to make also use of the path


If not, how do you envision the storage structure?


I am not sure if we are confusing actual storage with referencing?

well, in order to show what I think how it should be implemented I have started
something at http://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yanel/trunk

whereas it's not quite working yet and also got distracted on versioned published interfaces ... I have done this because I am afraid I will never be able to explain my ideas, so I will try to let this code speak.

OK, I'll take a look at it as soon as I find the time.

no problem. I didn't mean the actual code, but rather the ideas illustrated by this code :-)

Thanks

Michi

Thanks for your reply,
