| Re: [higgins-dev] Nodes outside Contexts? |
Sorry, didn't read this before replying to your other one.
The proposed createNode methods still need some kind of authN materials right? Also, is it just me, or does IdASRegistry.create* seem like it should be get*, or maybe instantiate*?

So maybe we should do the following:
Create an interface INodeId with these methods:
IContextId getContextId() <--- return value may be null if it's a relative NodeId
String getAbsolute() <--- returns the absolute NodeId which includes the ContextId, may be null
String getRelative() <--- returns the relative NodeId (that's what used to be called SubjectId)
Create a factory class NodeIdFactory (in analogy to the existing ContextIdFactory) with the following method:
INodeId fromString(String)
Add these methods to IdASRegistry:
INode createNode(INodeId)
INode createNode(String)

Nono that's not what I'm saying.
Every node is inside a context.
But: http://wiki.eclipse.org/NodeId_Data_Range says that "An absolute NodeId Data Range MUST uniquely identify both a Context and a specific Node within that Context".
This means that the absolute NodeId contains a ContextId and a relative NodeId (see examples on that page).
So.. If you give the IdASRegistry an absolute NodeId (and auth materials for opening the context.. I forgot that in the previous mail), it should be able to directly hand you an instance of INode, or?

I want to just say no, but I suspect I'm missing something. Right now, a Context is like a top-level thing in Higgins. So createContext is what we have to use to get started -- once we have the Context, everything we do (including accessing/updating Nodes) is in terms of that Context.
Are you thinking we need a way of creating Nodes outside the scope of any Context?

Jim,
Should we have an INodeId interface, in the same manner as we have a IContextId interface?
I could imagine the following method in IdASRegistry:
INode createNode(INodeId nodeId)
.. just like there is
IContext createContext(IContextId contextId)
today.
