[dsdp-tm-dev] Re: programmatic creation of dynamic filters in Remote Sys

[Martin Oberhuber <martin.oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For such dynamic filters, you'll probably need to do two things:

  1.) Override SubSystemConfiguration#createDefaultFilterPool()
      to have your filter created. The filter will be defined
      as some filter String that's "special" and different than
      the normal file filters, e.g. ". ; /dynamic:Workspace"

  2.) Extend FileServiceSubSystem, overriding the
      internalResoveFilterString() method in a way that honors
      your new dynamic filter string and resolves it dynamically.

  3.) Your custom subclass of FileServiceSubSystemConfiguration
      needs to instantiate your custom subclass of
      FileSerivceSubSystem.

Dave's do you agree with this approach? Should we probably put
it into our Programming Guide somewhere? It could be a "Plugging
in Filters" chapter below the "Plugging into the RSE" section.

Tobias: you've been doing something similar before, do you agree?
