Re: [config-dev] Tree structure vs flat structure discussion thread

Definitely feeling a bit lost here. Why is a JNDI like tree concept needed? To retrieve stored objects rather than just strings? Dealing with the concepts of collections/arrays/containers? If so, adopting some string based syntax like [x] does not help?

I am in favour of a tree structure.

 

Probably an unfashionable view but there is a danger that you just reimplement the javax.naming api, without mutability, when all required functionality for tree walking etc is added.

Subject: [config-dev] Tree structure vs flat structure discussion thread

 

Hi,

 

As we discussed on the meeting today, I am going to create two email threads: one for the subj discussion (this thread) and another one for voting (I’ll do it later). The rule is simple: discuss the subj here and use voting thread only for voting.

 

To initiate the discussion:

 

Here is a link to Tomas’ PR for tree structure: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/config/pull/22

Here is my private gist with some thoughts:  https://gist.github.com/m0mus/1bf0a3f76e3492fa764263b4b180a50a

 

Thanks,

Dmitry

 

P.S.

Creating the voting thread now…
