AW: [geclipse-dev] LFC Replicas in UI Proposal

Hi Mateusz,

Your first proposal seems to make sense for me and I do not see any reason to not use this solution.

The second proposal may contain some pitfalls. First the question is do we get any functionality from this that may be useful for the users? Is there a usecase to directly access a specific replica (for instance dragging and dropping this replica to somewhere)? I have a bad feeling about introducing some changes in the model concerning this since we are talking about gLite specific functionalities here and the model has to be middleware independent. So introducing middleware dependent functionalities in the model is of course no option here. If we can do this in a middleware independent way and we gain useful functionality the second approach would also be an option, otherwise we should not do it like that.

Cheers, Mathias

Betreff: [geclipse-dev] LFC Replicas in UI Proposal

Hi *,

Recently we had a discussion about showing LFC file replicas in user
interface. I've prototyped one solution, which you can see in the
attachment.

You will find two proposals:
- in properties view, category replicas,
- in grid project view, file is an expandable node containing all replicas.

The latter is much more complex than the first one. It involves deep
changes in our model to force files being expandable nodes and
introducing new node type (LFCReplica) as well.

Hence, I would like you comment on this prototype.
Also, I would like Mathias comment on proposed changes to the model.
