Distinguish different types of services (a la NO.Net) ?
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: ISIS-7
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-7
Project: Isis
Issue Type: Brainstorming
Reporter: Dan Haywood
The Naked Objects for .NET has made a change to their API, in that they now
distinguish:
- MenuServices - services registered here show up on the UI as menus (but may
still be selected and deselected within a Profile). Actions on these services
will also be contributed unless marked [NotContributed]. They will also be
injected into objects as needed.
- ContributedActions - Services registered here will contribute actions but
will not show up as menus, nor be selectable within a profile. They will also
be injected into objects (though I think it not very likely that you would want
to).
- SystemServices - These services (e.g. SMTPMailSender) are registered for
purposes of dependency injection but do not have any user visibility.
These are currently specified through different overridden methods in their
bootstrap class. They did explore ways to achieve the same distinctions
entirely by annotation, but eventually concluded that this was a simpler
approach.
This ticket is a marker for a similar discussion with respect to Isis.
