Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAPESTRY-1022:
------------------------------------------------

This ordering logic is used in two places:  ordering of decorators for a 
service, and ordering of contributions to an OrderedConfiguration.

> Ordering with pre/post requisites could be simplified, improved

> The Ordering logic is based on pre and post requisites, showing up as @After 
> and @Before annotations, and corresponding method parameters.
> I think this is limiting.
> I would like to coalesce @After and @Before into just @Order.  The value for 
> @Order is a list of constraint strings.
> A constraint string is a type, a colon, and a list of service ids.  The type 
> can be "before", "after" or "within".
> Example:  before:Security,Transaction
> Within will allow orderings to be broken up easily into phases.  Once a 
> "phase" is defined with before and after constrains, the "within:" constraint 
> will order the element after the phase, but before the phase's 
> post-requisites.
> Example:
> phase2  -->  after:phase1, before:phase3
> object1 --> within:phase2
> object2 --> within:phase2   after:object1
> object1 ends up with the effective constraints after:phase1, before:phase3
> object2 ends up with the effective constraints: after:phase1, object1 
> before:phase3
> This works well with the fact that null objects may be contributed into an 
> ordering as placeholders (but are editted out of the final list).
> From experience, this is very necessary. The Tapestry 4 enhancement process 
> would certainly have benefited from this.
> Finally, Tapestry 5 has reasonable "glob" matching of service ids and the 
> list of constraints should work from that. Currently, the code (imported from 
> HiveMind) only recognizes a single glob, "*".
