Hi Caleb, If I understand correctly, I would be able to add a new action by implementing an "Action" component with this approach (hope I'm correct).
- How will I be able to bind my action to a particular URL pattern? (like download, view, edit actions we have right now) - Is there a way to resolve conflicts when resolving actions? (when two action components have bindings to the same URL pattern). I'm not sure if these questions are premature. But let's find out :P - Asiri On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 12:09 AM, Caleb James DeLisle < calebdeli...@lavabit.com> wrote: > This has been discussed on IRC but I wanted to send out an email before > creating a design proposal and JIRA issue. > > Summary: > Actions need to be ported out of the old core into their own components. > It is important that the new Action model be in place so that newly added > actions do not have to be ported as well. > > Current Situation: > There is an Action interface, an ActionManager, and an XWikiServlet which > work but design is not finished. > > Use cases: > 1.
