[Proposal] Extend the ResourceManager Interface
Hi all,
I would like to extend the ResourceManager.java with following method:
addResource(Document document, Part part, Map metaData, MetaData
customMeta) throws...
In the default implementation I want to add in this method that not only
the metadata will add to the asset but as well to the MetaData that got
passed into it.

How?

The whole point of a media type document is to give information about
the media. Now since we have made the determination between assets and
documents (which does not make sence) I need all information in the
*document* and not so much in the asset. The asset in reality *is* the
document!

¿? What do you mean?
The document is determined by the asset props, which are stored in the
meta data.

Sorry will reconfigure my IDE.
Thx for the headsup.

I don't see why this can't be handled by the previously available
methods. What is the additional meta data parameter good for?
Is this the CustomMetaData object of the Document? Shouldn't this
rather be handled by client code?
BTW, the new code in DefaultResourcesManager contains some 2-space
indentation lines and inline Strings ...

What parts do you not understand?

I don't quite understand. Could you please elaborate a bit more?

Well, I am researching to extend lenya with a mediaType resource type.
Above interface is responsible to add assets (resources) to lenya. If
you add an asset then you add as well some meta data (e.g. height)
regarding the asset.
Now in the case of mediaType documents you need this information in the
meta data of this doc. The now implemented code change allows to pass
any metada to the ResourceManager and storing the asset information as
well there.
Still this is just one example where I do not understand the difference
between resource and documents, because IMO both are just content and
should use one interface!
