I'll be happy to edit this section to make it comprehensible, once I
achieve some understanding of it myself :-)
Sorry for the snarkiness... just feeling a little frustrated is all :-)
LOL
When 'unique identification widgets' were first introduced, they were
called something else then what they are called now.
Right... I got that much :-)
Now they are known as <fb:identity>.
OK — and I have always used <fb:identity>, so I must have figured out
that this was the thing to do... so I guess my only question left is,
what about <fb:unique-row>?
Hi,
I think <fb:unique-row> was the initial name for <fb:identity>.
<fb:unique-row> is now deprecated. I don't remember out of hand, I
suspect <fb:unique-row> never existed, because it was never released.
Hmm... looking at the source code, it's nowhere to be found. From the
documentation, it appears that at one point it was meant to allow the
implementation of composite identity schemes, but it either was never
implemented, or was superseded by the time of the release but the doc
was never changed?
Also, w.r.t. @unique-row-id and @unique/path, they are no longer
"deprecated" as such — they are now unsupported, and the
implementation does the courtesy of recognizing them and throwing
BindingException.
They were deprecated, because they did not allow to define more than one
widget. Or it was to complicated to parse them. Hence it was deprecated
in favor of <fb:identity>. A sample of the new way is here(look for the
repeater):
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cocoon/trunk/blocks/cocoon-forms/cocoon-forms-sample/src/main/resources/COB-INF/forms/form2_bind_bean.xml?revision=392580&view=markup
I think <fb:identity is not mandatory, there is still the simple repater:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cocoon/trunk/blocks/cocoon-forms/cocoon-forms-sample/src/main/resources/COB-INF/forms/dynamicrepeater_binding.xml?revision=392580&view=markup
HTH.
So, I would remove all references to them from the docs, and the same
for <unique-row> and <unique-field>. WDYT?
Great idea, please do! :-)
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.
