Appddevvv commented on PIVOT-470:
---------------------------------
One use case is embedding the XML files inside other XML files for tooling but
my use case is to allow them to potentially be embedded in spring containers.
In the same spirit, I'm about to submit a small patch to the serializer that
makes it possible to extend so that instance creation and the recursize
serializer creation process can be customized. This allows full DI frameworks
to be employed for instance initialization especially useful for pivot
subclasses. I'll make more comments on that issue in the jira that's opened.
> Move WTKXSerializer to org.apache.pivot.beans and rename to BeanSerializer

>
> WTKXSerializer does not currently have any dependencies on
> org.apache.pivot.wtk and can technically be used to deserialize any arbitrary
> bean hierarchy. Moving it to pivot-core will allow developers to take
> advantage of it on the server where it can be used to facilitate design
> patterns such as dependency injection and aspect-oriented programming.
> There is a question of what prefix to use for the internal processing
> namespace (currently "wtkx"). Should this continue to be "wtkx" for WTKX
> files, or should it be something more generic ("bxml", "bx", "jbx", etc.)?
> This prefix could also be used as a generic file extension for bean markup
> files when a more appropriate extension is not available.
> There is also the question of what to call the @WTKX annotation. This should
> probably also parallel the namespace prefix.
> It may be valid for WTKX files to retain the .wtkx extension, since it
> clearly articulates what type of bean XML the file contains. This notion is
> further reinforced by the fact that the default namespace for WTKX files
> refers to the WTK package, org.apache.pivot.wtk. However, using a dedicated
> extension for WTK markup may simply promote confusion.
