http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27794 [PATCH] Merge LayoutProcessor and LayoutManager interfaces Summary: [PATCH] Merge LayoutProcessor and LayoutManager interfaces Product: Fop Version: 1.0dev Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: page-master/layout AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Team, The following patch merges the LayoutProcessor interface back into the LayoutManager interface, which returns the meaning of the latter into being the minimal interface that a LayoutManager must implement in the LayoutManager layout strategy. (Similar to the Renderer interface in the render packages.) This change is primarily to simplify the Layout code. Keiron separated the two last year in order for their to be more freedom in layout strategies, but this is before Victor already gave us the LayoutStrategy interfaces, which does much the same thing (except doesn't limit you to LayoutManager classes at all.) Keeping separate interfaces isn't buying us anything at this time--rather, we can free up the LayoutManager design by reducing the number of methods within it. (So far, though, that hasn't been a concern.) Peter, would implementing this change have any affect on your Alt-Design and its possible integration in HEAD? I don't think it will, and it will make things easier in HEAD. I'll wait three days, and if no objections, apply this on Sunday (Wash DC time). Thanks, Glen
