Hi everybody,
When I was walking my dog today I suddenly came up with this idea
that I think might be very interesting and eventually maybe another
killer feature for RIFE.
Imagine that RIFE would be able to log all the requests that arrive
in detail. With that I mean: the URL, the parameters, the request
method, the cookies, the headers, and so on... Additionally, it would
then log all the interesting parts of the web engine that are
executed: the elements that are processed, the submissions that are
handled, the exits that are triggered, ... Since it's a full stack,
it can then also log which templates have been created and printed,
how the blocks and values have been manipulated, which beans have
been set in the template,... It can even log all the accesses through
the database layer, which queries (object oriented ones or string
ones) have been executed, what the results were, and so on...
All this information would then be stored in a structured fashion,
maybe in a database. Users would be able to setup filters and watch
points to only log the parts they are really interested in. This can
then for example be used to get detailed information and statistics
of what happens in the web application. The most interesting part to
me is that it would be possible to automatically generate out-of-
container tests and assertions. It might even be possible to create
restoration points for your database, so that after running the tests
all data would be restored exactly as it was before.
What do you guys think of this? Do you think it's worth investigating
as the major new feature of RIFE 1.6?
Best regards,
Geert
