Hello list,
I am reading along with much interest, but have (still) not used
symfony2, so if what I ask makes no sense, just ignore it.
I have some problems to understand why XML is used in this way,
especially the parameters block. For me the yaml version has more
context info then the XML version: in yaml it is clear that all
parameters are security params, there is a group of (security)
authentication params, and other groups.
>From XML point of view(and also judging from the xsd file), there is
only a long list of unordered params, that are also not validated (only
validation is that the parameter tag may have a type, key and id property).
IMO to use the strength of XML (validation), the parameters block should
look like this (and would then have the same context info like I
mentioned for yaml above):
<parameters>
<security>
<context>
<class>Symfony\Component\Security\SecurityContext</class>
</context>
<authentication>
<provider>
<dao>
<class>Symfony\Component\Security\Authentication\Provider\DaoAuthenticationProvider</class>
</dao>
<pre_authenticated>
<class>ymfony\Component\Security\Authentication\Provider\PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationProvider</class>
</pre_authenticated>
</provider>
...
</authentication>
...
</security>
</parameters>
