Avoiding MetaData Lookup in gadget creation
--------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-1585
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1585
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Javascript
Affects Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Hasan Ceylan
Priority: Trivial
I have recently became deeply involved with Shindig.
While observing code, I noticed that in order to decide to use OAAIfrGadget or
IfrGadget implementation, container makes a metadata request for each and every
gadget on the page.
Considering the nature of the way opensocial is designed, which already
produces a lot of HTTP requests, IMHO every request avoidance counts. I think
this one can be avoided easily. A similar handling, the initial height of the
iframe is also a load time parameter that affects the way the final html markup
generated (inserting height attribute to iframe tag).
Therefore, introducing a parameter in the gadget params - say 'pubsubEnabled'
-, I can pass that parameter during the creating of the javascript chunk within
the page and avoid the metadata lookup iff this parameter exists. In the
absence of the parameter, the current implementation might commence.
If you appreciate the added value here, I would like to get down to coding of
this implementation.
