Additional Filename Conventions

Version 3 by zumbrunn on 22. January 2008, 17:51

Over the past days, I did some experimenting *experimenting with the JOMP patch for Rhino Rhino|e4xd and jhino - experimental soft-coding scaffold using JOMP* and the mapping of additional filename extensions to HopObject properties. I probably took it a bit to far and made the list of supported file suffixes to long, even introducing duplicates, but I would like to propose supporting additional filename based conventions for Helma 1.7.

1	Over the past days, I did some experimenting with the JOMP patch for Rhino and the mapping of additional filename extensions to HopObject properties. I probably took it a bit to far and made the list of supported file suffixes to long, even introducing duplicates, but I would like to propose supporting additional filename based conventions for Helma 1.7.
3	Here is what I added for my experiments:
4
5	foo.macro --> becomes a hobj.foo_macro function with "params" as first argument
6	foo.get --> becomes a hobj.foo_action_get function
7	foo.post --> becomes a hobj.foo_action_post function
8	foo.put --> becomes a hobj.foo_action_put function
9	foo.delete --> becomes a hobj.foo_action_delete function
10	foo.e4x --> becomes a hobj.foo_e4x xml object
11	foo.json --> becomes a hobj.foo_json js object
12
13	Then I also needed a mapping that would not be generally useful, but only interesting in the context of my experiments:
14
15	foo.control --> becomes a hobj.foo_control function with "view" as first argument
16
17	And on top of all that, I added some duplicates:
18
19	foo.view --> the same as foo.skin
20	foo.action --> the same as foo.hac
21
22	The helma patch that resulted in:
23
24	<% this.attachments %>
25
26	Maybe instead of adding direct built-in support for additional filename conventions to Helma, we could instead add functionality that would make it easy to script/configure such additional conventions as needed.
