Minutes
Upward references
Jon: Should tools be blocked from going past root? I think so
Kin: Right
Lori: Yes
Nested properties revisited
Jon: I sent email. Why not use the <category> element?
Kin: My first reaction is that it's a bit more tedious.
Lori/Kin: Tedious. Have to add category and label for each property.
Lori: What is benefit of <category>? Oh, yeah, tool might want to override.
Kin: Any requirements from mashups?
Lori: jQuery themeroller - breaks properties into categories, for example accordion panel has tabs, content and whole
Kin: <label> tag for property editor
Lori: Jon's approach allows for multiple categories. Jon is right that the tool should have final say on grouping
Kin: Not sure it is solvable. Always a disconnect between tool and widget
RESOLUTION: Allows nested <properties>. <title> sub-element provides label. Need to update schema.
Factory methods in OAM
Lori: I was just asking for an example. I have one now.
Move 'managed' attribute to <property>
Lori: Fine with me to move to individual property tags.
RESOLUTION: 'managed' moved to <property>
Properties chapter review
Lori: I went through 2/3 of the chapter and made various editorial changes.
Lori: Why allow empty properties?
Jon: For lazy generators
Lori: OK, that's fine.
Lori: childProperties - APIs or widget only?
Jon: Parent object wants to add properties to child properties. Targets layout container widgets. Common example is an alignment point property added to child widgets.
Kin: For <config>, what is parent?
Lori: class, etc.
Jon: Widget also
(discussion of getter/setter section)
RESOLUTION: Remove first paragraph
