Thank you Jacques, the document is really interesting because it describes the
early design and confirms my understandings after
the research/review/refactoring I recently did, which brought up the
questions/proposals we are discussing now.
I would like to mention that my refactoring simplified greatly the
implementation (that was a bit messed up, as it is rather
natural, after years of modifications) but it didn't change the concepts
described there... it actually makes the code closer to
them because it is easier to read it. However, as part of the refactoring, I
also got rid of a few old and never used features
that are still documented in the document; for example:
* "The DispatchContext [...] contains [...] a 'bag' of user defined attributes."
this feature is no more available.
In general there are other details about it that are no more accurate (not
because of my refactoring); for example it is not true
that the DispatchContext holds a reference to a delegator
Will they not miss to anyone? What is supposed to replace them? Were they
really useless?
Should we update the document to reflect the recent changes?
Sure that's is most needed IMO (should not even be questionned ;o)
Jacques
Kind regards,
Jacopo
