I'm sorry I don't fully understand certain aspects: - what will be the contents of the mimePaths array? Will it be the same like the current getInheritedPaths()? - the "root" mime-type (i.e. the one for which the resulting object will be returned) will be the first member of the array? - the mimePaths array will always be constructred in the same way for all the MimeDataProviderEx providers, right? - can we name concrete usecases that will use this (at least few)? Nit: I would prefer to pass a List of mimePaths rather than array but since it's an SPI rather than API it's probably ok. moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev |
The general lookup composition should be enforced by the infrastructure and standard MimeDataProviders and now deprecated MimeLookupInitializers should only provide lookup for a single mimepath item (eg. text/x-jsp/text/x-java). However, there are some providers (eg. DefaultMimeDataProvider in e/m/impl or SettingsProvider in e/s/storage) that implement the composition in a special way for certain objects that they contribute to MimeLookup. These special providers need the exact inheritance tree for a particular MimePath, which was now hacked around by MimePath.getInheritedPaths and reflection. The idea is to add new interface that would be implemented by those special providers and pass the MimePath inheritance tree to the providers implementing this interface. The interface could look something like interface MimeDataProviderEx { Lookup getLookup(MimePath [] mimePaths); }
