Repository Task Data
Refactoring Objectives
- Task Data Refactoring
- Currently not nomalized
- repository configuration options stored in same file
- Configuration data is being updated upon load anyway
- Presentation information such as hidden/readonly status fields being persisted (put with configuration?)
- Operations being included
- Task Data Externalization
- Switch to XML
- Possibly use IMemento
- Separate files vs. one BIG file
- Consider zipping all the individual xml files together into one zip file (similar to Open Office file format ODF)
- Currently not nomalized
- Lazy loading
- currently loaded at tasklist load time
- Could just have a flag indicating the existence of an offline file rather than load the data
- What does this break?
Proposed XML Serialization
<TaskData version="1.0" taskId="1" repositoryUrl="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs" repositoryKind="Bugzilla" modifiedTs="timestamp">
<Attribute id="...priority" modifiedTs="timestamp" author="rob.elves"> <Value>xxx</Value> <Value>xxx</Value> <Value>xxx</Value> </Attribute>
<Comment hasAttachment="true" attachmentId="1"> <Attribute id="...author"> <Value>rob.evles</Value> </Attribute> </Comment>
<NewComment> My new comment </NewComment>
<Attachment id="1" isObsolete="false"> <Attribute id="...attachment_date"> <Value>date</Value> </Attribute> </Attachment>
</TaskData>
Repository Configuration
Refactoring Objectives
- (option 1) Leave as responsibility of connector assuming a contract:
- Provide IMemento upon startup as an option?
- Remote configuration gathered periodically
- Always available (even if repository is deleted, configuration sticks)
- Given a configuration folder within .mylar to persist data (not ideal)
- Task data combined with configuration upon presentation rather than persistence
- (option 2) XML externalization
- Available options per id (ie. taskdata.priority --> P1, P2, P3...)
- Available options given a specific product selection <Attribute id="taskdata.components"><Value>Bugzilla</Value><Value>Core</Value>
- Hidden/readonly status for attributes?
- (option 1) Leave as responsibility of connector assuming a contract:
Proposed XML Serialization
<RepositoryConfiguration>
<GeneralOptions id="...products" hidden="false" readonly="false"> <Value>Mylar</Value> <Value>Nebula</Value> </GeneralOptions>
<ProductOptions> <Product name="Mylar"> <Options id="....os"> <Value>MacOS</Value> <Value default="true">Windows XP</Value> <Options> </Product> </ProductOptions>
</RepositoryConfiguration>
