Hi There,
developing a vCO plugin I wanted to use the ResourceElement way of doing. Unfortunately those classes are not very well - not to say not at all - documented. Soo I was hoping to get some support here.
Okay, what I'm trying to figure out are the inner workings of ch.dunes.model.client.VSOFactoryClient and in special what the Deprecated "connect" method are doing (and, since it's deprecated, what's the new way of doing it). So far, I know that the VSOFactoryClient instance will be used for all ongoing ResourceElement operations (insertResourceElement, getRootResourceElementCategorys and so on).
However, it is unclear to me why I would need to submit the VCO Hostname/IP and a ch.dunes.util.UserToken to it. Isn't the PluginFactory supposed to handle user-sessions?
So, the questions I have are as follows:
1. How is VSOFactoryClient related to PluginFactory (to be more precise, the AbstractSpringPluginFactory implementation)
2. If using the AbstractSpringPluginFactory and AbstractSpringPluginAdaptor implementations, effectively there is no IPluginFactory createPluginFactory method which could provide the input parameters (username / password) needed for the VSOFactoryClient.connect method, so how and where (within the Adapter or the Factory?) to instantiate the VSOFactoryClient. From the formal definitions, since the Factory should handle sessions, it seems that the factory should handle that. However, it seems that every time ResourceElement is used, it's instantiated within the Adapter.
3. What about one session for all user scenarios? What is the UserToken used for if not sessions?
4. Why do we need to provide a vCO IP at all? Isn't there a fallback to localhost?
5. Using the AbstractSpringPluginAdaptor implementation, the AbstractSpringPluginFactory is never explicitly called within the Adapter. However, it seems that the DAO used has to be instanciated there and added to the OBJECTManager class so the OBJECTManager may handle any object requests. Since I'm not sure how adding the factory to the OBJECTManager is handled my guesses are limited here. However, a quick & dirty example how to do DAO using AbstractSpringPluginAdaptor and AbstractSpringPluginFactory as well as a small explanaition how factory and dao will be sent to the OBJECTManager would be great
// EDIT
6. despite everything else - the core of why i'm looking for answers is because I want to implement ResourceElements using a Spring-Only Plugin version (thus - VSOFactoryClient, which seems to handle the ResourceElements, is not useable the "normal" way). Soo: what classes would handle ResourceElement in such a case?
Hope you guys can help me
