Re: [higgins-dev] new IdASRegistry

["Markus Sabadello" <msabadello@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm I think you are right, maybe the ABNF for "contexthttpURI" is not perfect at this point..

The point in having a file extension in a HTTP ContextId is to distinguish between different descriptor formats for obtaining the information necessary to instantiate a context. Right now the only supported format is XRD(S), but XDI will also be an option.

At the moment, the IdASRegistry and IContextId code will accept any URL as a ContextId, and it will simply expect to find an XRDS file via Yadis discovery. Yadis discovery basically means that the XRDS file can be either directly located at that URL, or referenced from there via a HTTP header or HTML HTTP-EQUIV tag.

In the ABNF, the contexthttpURI allows something like http://example.com/context.xrds?somequery=something

 

I suspect the query would not be expected when the descriptor-ext is set to .xdi or .xrds.  Would that be a correct assumption?

Hi all,

Since I didn't get much feedback about the new XRI/XRDS based IdASRegistry, I am wondering if you guys (especially Jim and people working on Context Providers) had a chance to look at it.

I would like to check it in soon so we can get this running, and it will definitely break a few things. The changes will include replacing ContextRefs with ContextIds in the IContextFactory interface.

The relevant Wiki pages are:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ContextId
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Context_Discovery
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ContextDiscoveryComponents

If noone objects I propose to commit this in a few days.. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Markus
