Hi, So i'm having problems with my architecture of my node application, I know the problem, I'm just trying to find the best solution.
My problems is exactly the same as: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nodejs/u_9IE2z_6rM Only I'm using a Factory class to create plugins of the type "IPlugin". These plugins have certain actions, called PluginAction. A PluginAction has a field plugin, which refers to its parent plugin. When serializing to JSON, i replace the plugin object with a string identifier, pointing to the correct plugin. My PluginFactory can retrieve a plugin using retrieve(identifier). The problem occurs when I try to deserialize a given PluginAction. At that point I would like to convert the plugin identifier back to the plugin object, by retrieving it from the Factory. This is where it goes wrong. I understand this could be a bit hard to follow, so I've included a part of my class diagram, which might clarify it more. Short summary: 1. PluginFactory.initialize() loads all plugins in a certain directory using require() 2. PluginAction.toJSON() changes the plugin object to a string containing the plugin identifier 3. PluginAction.fromJSON() when trying to retrieve the plugin object using the PluginFactory, I cannot load the PluginFactory file. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
