Thanks Alex,
So, say I put a jar on the classpath with Foo and Bar in it:
class Foo {
public String fooProperty = "defaultText";
public void setFooProperty(String x) {fooProperty = x;}
public String serialize() {"""
x = new Foo();
x.fooProperty = $fooProperty;
x;
""";}
public Foo fromXWiki(String serialized) {Eval.me(serialized);}
}
class Bar {
public Foo barProperty = new Foo();
}
So I could have an XWiki class XwBar with a field barProperty
containing text that created a Foo, and while navigating a site that
uses an XwBar, deserialize barProperty into a Foo, possibly rinse and
repeat with its properties, and then display it some way.
Is this what you mean?
Travis
PS: Above code not tested. It's just for illustration.
