as outsider I have looked at the functions framework. its current use at this moment is mainly making it possible for the bridge to call functions. (if doesn't help implementing) but wraps old methods. at http://www.keesj.dds.nl/functions.png you can see an diagram of the functions framework. The biggest problem IMHO at current time is that it's not possible to create a class that "implements" a function and register it in mmbase for example: if you want to create a function that operates on a node you MUST define the function in the NodeManager (using static stuff), and use the standard public Object getFunctionValue(Parameters arguments) to implement the function. It's a quite complicated story to tell. I Would like it if we could make the story a bit simpler. so that if possible to implement a functions and register that function onto anything (node, builder, module,set) In that case implementing a function would look like this: http://www.keesj.dds.nl/MyFirstFunction.java (and here the extra code to hook it in a builder) http://www.keesj.dds.nl/Builder.java
