[dsdp-mtj-dev] New API proposal for JAD descriptor section IDs

Hi everyone,

 

I recently submitted a change [Bug 284452] to the JAD editor pages so that the former pages for OTA Properties and Push Registry properties have now been consolidated under the Optional page. Each of the three now occupies a section on the Optional page.

 

The MTJ API allows an SDK provider to assign JAD descriptor fields to a page ID but not to a section within a page. All fields are lumped together. In order to make the above change, I had to make a few internal alterations, but this ability to apply descriptor fields to sections was not extended to the public API for SDK providers.

 

This proposal is that we enhance the API so that SDK providers may apply descriptor fields to specific sections on specific pages. The Extension Element Details editor on the Extensions tab of the MTJ plugin.xml editor would include a new “sectionID” field. Entering data in this field is optional. The field specifies the section ID of the page where the descriptors are to be located. The SDK provider’s descriptors are added to the end of any previous descriptors in that section.

 

I have opened bug 288530 for this discussion. All comments are most appreciated.

 

 

 

Regards,

Jon Dearden
