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)
Cool
what i don't want is
C inherits from both B and A, where A and B are unrelated.
(inheritance with mixins)
I didn't realize this was implemented. Hmm, nothing I currently use ;)
neither did i until i saw that getTemplateIds returns String[]. it might
also be a list of parent, grandparent etc, but my tests showed it's not.
anyway, this seems to be the only place in the code where such a feature
is hinted at... probably a mistake.

jörn
