hi everyone!
i just found out about the method
String[] getTemplateIds
in org.apache.lenya.cms.publication.Publication.
does that mean we support or plan to support multiple inheritance?
Actually it should work
(see PublicationTemplateManagerImpl.getPublications(publication)).
But this is of course subject to discussion.
Do you consider this concept valuable or even necessary?

For environments with many publications (university) it is very valuable
as the diagram at the top of this page shows:
http://lenya.apache.org/docs/1_4/reference/publication-templating/index.html
I use the default pub as a template for my own generic pub, then use my
generic pub as a template for my pubs in production. This way I can
utilize new functionality as it develops in the default pub, override
functionality/design for all my pubs, and customize functionality for
specific publications.
I can make due without it (multiple inheritance) but it would be a bummer.
i think we use the term differently.
of course i want to keep the ability to have
C inherits from B inherits from A
(inheritance a la java)
what i don't want is
C inherits from both B and A, where A and B are unrelated.
(inheritance with mixins)

jörn
