Currently there can be only one class in a document, but for a while the question whether this is going to be valid in the future as well has been floating around. So, a prerequisite vote is: In the new model, can a document contain more than one class? One thing I believe we're definitely going to need is a special data structure to explicitly represent XClasses, holding XClass metadata such as "is the class supposed to be stand-alone, one instance per document, like BlogPosts, or is it an aggregated class, with several instances attached to a document, like the Comments"; "what is the sheet used to display the object in view mode"; "what is the parent class (if we want to do inheritance)". With this meta-class in place, we could, in theory, have two meta-classes in a document, with each class property mapped to one of the meta-classes. >> WDYT ? +1, if we decide that we only want at most one class per document. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
