Hi Julian,
I think that would be ideal ... as this way I don't feel like moving things
underneath your feet all the time ;-)
After my change marathon yesterday I am hopeful that I will be able to finish
this this week.

Hi Chris,
thank you so much for your effort!
I can't wait for the refactoring to be finished (and the release of course).
I'm following your branch and as you implemented most of the things we
discussed I think its best to wait till you are finished and merge and then
start off with the new S7 Syntax based on your branch.

Hi all,
just wanted to give you an update on my progress.
I started with updating the examples and integrations and quickly came
to a point, where I had to continue finishing the API refactoring and the
base-driver refactoring.
So I just committed my last changes that should make it possible to
build Read & Write-Requests. I really hope to finish this refactoring in the
next two days as it's totally driving me nuts.
For the last few days every dream at night has been dealing with
architectural problems, byte encoding and stuff like that ... that has to
change ;-)
Just as an example ... the new S7PlcFieldHandlerTest now runs
additional 7178 individual tests to test all combinations of Java and S7 type
combinations and their respective value ranges (MIN, MAX, 0, Some random value).
I still need to implement the temporal types Time, Date and DateTime,
and test the "ULWORD" types, but I guess most should be somewhat usable.
Wouldn't have thought that the Write direction was so much more work
than the Read path.
So much for the Update ...

Hi Chris,
exactly, that was my point (sorry for writing it not out clearly).
We can do it that way the only thing we are "loosing" is to know
whether bit was given by the user explicitly or not.
I dont know if we need this after parsing is finished anymore.
So we can also do it your way.

Hi Julian,
had to think a little to get your point ... but think I have
... In my example it's a primitive "short" and in yours it's "Short" as
nullable non-primitive-type.
I don't technically prefer any of the two options. Physically
the bit-offset of any non-bit type is always 0 and not null (as in undefined)
as every non-bit value always starts at bit 0 ... so for that reason I would
prefer "short" with default 0 over the "Short" nullable version. And this way
we don't have to add null-checks in the code. But as I said ... that's a very
slight preference for that option.

Hi chris,
I agree with your S7 field except for one little change.
How do we proceed with the (optional) bit offset?
I made it "Short" with the contract that null indicates no
offset given.
Another alternative would be to make it 0 as default or
even Optional.
I would prefer to have it nullable, what do you think?
With the rest I'm fine but as this is part of our internal
API now I think we also have more freedom with evolving them as its not visible
to users.
For all other parts of your proposal +1 from me.
Best

Hi all,
especially @Julian ... could you please have a look at
that I did with the S7Field [1]?
Also there is a unit-test that should allow adding more
statements and testing everything is working ok [2].
Does this match your idea on [3]? Looking at your
addresses, I think that I might have not quite got it ... is there always a "D"
as first part after the "."? I always read it as "DB" like Data Block ... but
seeing DX and SW makes me wonder ... a quick check in my TIA shows me the
address of a Boolean field in a Data Block is "%DB1.DBX38.1" ... which one is
correct?
As we're no longer constructing the objects themselves
in the API, I took the liberty to simplify the field objects so we now only
have one type for S7.

Hi all,
I just pushed changes to my API refactoring branch
... so far I only adjusted the API module and added an example using the
changed API.
To have a look, please go to [1] ...
General changes I implemented while working on the
refactoring itself. I did notice, that my current proposal "chris-2" did
Having to inject the type conversion code would
have made it necessary to inject a converter which didn't feel right. So I
changed the API to be purely interface based.
In order to be able to construct these objects I
also added builders for them.
I asked a few people here what they think, and most
liked the simplicity and didn't have any WTF experiences (Which seems to be a
good thing as I did have to explain a lot with the current API)
Quick Feedback highly appreciated as I will start
implementing DefaultPlcReadRequest & Co (in driver-base ... together with the
builders) after that I'll start migrating the drivers.
Right now having a look a named example [1] would
be a good start ...
Second would be a deeper look into the API module
[2].
Would be a shame to waste that time and effort if
you think the changes suck (or are less than optimal as non-Germans would
probably call them ;-) ) .

Ups ... after reloading .. I just saw Julians
Proposal pop up ... haven't looked into that ...
Will do that right away.

Hi Julian,
version 2 should now be quite different ...
I started reworking my original proposal and decided to revert that an start a
second proposal.
My first did address some parts needing
cleaning up, but I still wasn't quite satisfied with it. So I did another more
radical refactoring.
If you reload the second there should be a
lot of differences.
I just hit "save" a few minutes ago however
... but now I'm quite happy with it. So please have another look at the second
proposal.
And please, maybe add your own proposal ...
my versions are just Brainstorming from my side.
My favorite is currently "Chris' Proposal
2" ;-)
Chris
