I have a first cut of Intake running as a Fulcrum Component.. However, I

don't have your changes yet.  I would like to commit it today for review.
Colin, since you seem to understand Intake a lot, would you review the
changes I have made and I think that your refactoring for 2.4 should be made
in the fulcrum component, and the intake in 2.3 will be deprecated.  If you
are making things easier, then that will provide a clear incentive to
switch.


Cool, but I have to admit that the IntakeService still holds some grey areas for me.



The intake service in fulcrum leverages the localization service from fulcrum as well!

The only difficulty I have is on the parameterparser and valueparser.  They
require a reference on Turbine 2.3.  Since I want to use the intake
component in a standalone use case, as well as using it with Scarab which
uses Turbine 3.0.

So, what would be requried to ditch the paremeterparser/valueparser?  While
we could move them to fulcrum, in many ways they seem to be very http
request specific, and ought to not be used in Fulcrum.


Yeah as far as understand it Fulcrum shouldn't have any dependancies on HTTP stuff right? I think Parameterparser just contains a hashMap of the data we need, if we could extract the HashMap from Parameterparser and pass that to the Fulcrum version (of Intake) we could extract the required data from there?

running a few things by you for feedback if you don't mind.


You seem


to be using the Intake service quite intensly?


Fine, but if you want me to try anything I will most likely only have
applications running on 2.3.1-dev, not 2.4-dev.
If you search way back in the mail archives you can find
reference to an
extension to Intake that provided client side validation using
JavaScript.  JavaScript would be no substitute for validation on the
server, but it could improve the user experience.  It could be
interesting to integrate this if you have some time on your hands.



Let me know if 2.3.1 Intake is now performing as expected.


AFAIK the only outstanding problem relates to the use format of the
values returned by DateString.  I am avoiding this by not
using DateString.

Thanks for your patch - it saved me digging deeper into Intake than I
already have.
