my first use case is that I want to enhance the HomefolderManager to make it
possible to select something else than a Folder to be created automatically.
Right now I have forked a version of the HomefolderManager and just changed
in the code. But I would like to have a more generic solution and I'll also
commit it back to the trunk.
For that I want all classes implementing IContainer (and IContentType ?) and
let the user select on in the configuration dialog of the HomefolderManager.
More use caess probably show up in my project later, but nothing fixed at this
time.
So what you want is to create objects. Classes are just an
implementation detail to creating objects :). Factories create objects,
whether they're from a class is immaterial.
So, what you want is not a list of classes but a list of factories that
can create IContainers. This is possible by using
zapi.getUtilitiesFor(IFactory) and then checking each factory's
getInterfaces() method whether IContainer is a part of the returned
result. I would probably base an implementation of all on the
UtilityVocabulary.
I'll also note that the use case is also directly addressed through
containment constraints. You can say that a container
should only contain objects of some given types and you will get
just those types in the add list.
