hi everyone!
our current resource type configuration syntax is a little confusing imho: <schema src="foo" language=""/> <link-rewrite xpath="/foo/bar"/> <sample-name name="foo" mime-type="application/bar">foo://bar</sample-name> or <samples uri="foo://bar.xml"/> <format name="foo" uri="foo://bar"/> <expires secords="42"/> first of all, what does "expires" mean? the xhtml doctype gives this very helpful comment: <!-- Default time in seconds until the resource-type has expired --> does the resource type self-destruct one hour after the servlet engine has started? are documents older than one hour automatically deleted? please enlighten me... next, we have three ways of specifying a uri: by an attribute "src", an attribute "uri" or by element content. third, "sample-name" is not a very lucky choice imho. clearly, it's not a name for a sample that's being defined, but the sample itself. then, remind me again of the meaning of "link-rewrite"... is it still necessary after the Grand Proxying Rewrite of 2007? if yes, can it be folded into proxy or uuid2uri rewriting? there's a (trivial) patch in my queue that cleans up the syntax of resource type declarations a bit. i'd like to sneak it in before 2.0, but it will mean people have to change their custom resource types a little. any objections? regards, jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
