Meeting agenda 2012 08 13

• chkal - Stuff fixed last week:
  • Handlers now specify weights. PrettyFaces defines common weights in HandlerConstants. Therefore multiple bindings per class should work now. See MultipleParametersBean.
  • Join.where() now throws a runtime exception if the parameter is unknown.
  • @ValidateRegExp implemented. See ValidateRegExpBean.
• Discuss: Use Context.put() to store stuff in the ClassContext/FieldContext/MethodContext. Good or bad?
  • Usage example: ParameterBindingHandler.
  • Alternative: getters/setters in the context objects: FieldContext, MethodContext.
• Things to discuss from last week:
  • API naming of OutputBuffer API
  • Where to put the code for PrettyFaces 4.x???

Notes & Actions:

Things we agreed or partially agreed on:

• Rename @URLAction to @Invoke or @RequestAction?

• Consider AnnotationHandler design patterns filter chain?

• OutputBuffer will become a Filter-style pattern (with chain.continue() or similar)

• Rename @URLPattern to @PathPattern?

• Rename @ValidateRegExp to @Matches

• Remove set/getBindingBuilder() and use get/put from XxContext arguments

• For next time:

  • Need to discuss Action / PhaseAction handler chaining / delegating / overriding / extending.
