Hi Bertrand,
The json that would be nice to have is something like this;
{
label: 'name',
identifier: 'name',
items:
[
{ name:'Fruit', type:'category'},
{ name:'Cinammon', type: 'category',
children:
[
{ name:'Cinammon Roll', type:'poptart' },
{ name:'Brown Sugar Cinnamon', type:'poptart' },
{ name:'French Toast', type:'poptart' }
]
},
{ name:'Chocolate', type: 'category'}
]
}
Where the only important stuff here is that child nodes should be put in a
separate array [], not as an object to the parent node, like this;
{
"jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured",
"testing":
{"jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured",
"test2":
{
"title":"test2","sling:resourceType":"usling/example","jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured","text":"Default
text of the test node"},
"dojo_editor":
{ "title":"dojo
editor","sling:resourceType":"usling/editor","jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured","text":"This
is the dojo 1.x editor" },
"d1":
{ "title":"d1","sling:resourceType":"<!DOCTYPE HTML
PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN\"\r\n \"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd\";>\r\n<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<meta

type=\"text/css\">\r\n @import \"

@import \" http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.0.0/dojo/resources/dojo.css\"\r\n
<\/style>\r\n <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"

djConfig=\"parseOnLoad: true\"><\/script>\r\n <script
type=\"text/javascript\">\r\n dojo.require(\"dojo.parser\");\r\n
dojo.require(\" dijit.Editor\");\r\n <\/script>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body
class=\"tundra\">\r\n<form method=\"post\">\r\n<textarea name=\"field\"
width=\"200px\" dojoType=\" dijit.Editor\">\r\n It was a dark and
stormy night. Your story belongs here!\r\n<\/textarea>\r\n<input
type=\"submit\" value=\"Save\"
/>\r\n<\/form>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>","jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured","text":"dddd"
}
}
}
Also, I have difficulties understanding what to do with the
"testing":
{"jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured",
part, since I would somehow like it to be like this;
children:
[
{
title: 'testing',
jcr_primaryType: 'nt:unstructured',
children:
[
{ title:"test2", sling_resourceType:
"usling/example", jcr_primaryType: "nt:unstructured", text: "Default text of
the test node"},
....
]
}
]
Hmm. I really think that this would be the correct translation, now that
I've printed it out. The problem was in choosing how to remove the current
"name: {}" structure to move the name into the object (where it is anyway),
like children: [{title: name....}]
Note that children is just a convenient name, and doesn't mean anything
magic. Also, I would feel very much more comfortable not having quotes
around property names. I understand that they're there to escape the ':' ,
which are very magic in js and separates property names from values,
therefore I replaced them with underscores.
What I meant with not finding the source code to the JCR Property class was
that i did a grep . -exec "javax.jcr.Property" {} \; -print and every
file listed was one referering to it, not defining it, except for a jar
file, which came from the jcr project. So I kind of gave up on that point :)
Of course, another idea is to write a new JsonWriter from scratch. It can't
be too hard, and there's a lot of code done already. I'll try the regexp on
client approach again, first though.
Cheers,
PS
