[birt-dev] API change plan

["Xingjie He" <xhe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Some API is not easy to use and also some method names about css style sheet are not standard writing style.

    So plan to change API:

 

    API change about library:

 

Old API`	New API
public void includeLibrary( String libraryFileName, String namespace )            throws DesignFileException, SemanticException	public LibraryHandle includeLibrary( String libraryFileName, String namespace )            throws DesignFileException, SemanticException
public void reloadLibrary( LibraryHandle libraryToReload )            throws SemanticException, DesignFileException	public LibraryHandle reloadLibrary( LibraryHandle libraryToReload )            throws SemanticException, DesignFileException
public void reloadLibrary( String reloadPath ) throws SemanticException,            DesignFileException	public LibraryHandle reloadLibrary( String reloadPath ) throws SemanticException,            DesignFileException

 

   

    API change about css style sheet:

 

Need deprecate old API	New API
public Iterator includeCssesIterator( )	public Iterator includeCssStyleSheetIterator()
public void addCss( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle )            throws SemanticException	public CssStyleSheetHandle importCssStyleSheet( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle )            throws SemanticException
public void addCss( String fileName ) throws SemanticException	public CssStyleSheetHandle importCssStyleSheet( String fileName ) throws SemanticException
public void dropCss( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle )            throws SemanticException	public void dropCssStyleSheet ( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle ) throws SemanticException
public void reloadCss( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle )            throws SemanticException	public CssShetSheetHandle reloadCssStyleSheet( CssStyleSheetHandle sheetHandle )            throws SemanticException

 

 

Any suggestion?

Thanks!
