[jira] Created: (SHINDIG-605) enumValues returned by /gadgets/metadata are in random order

enumValues returned by /gadgets/metadata are in random order
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHINDIG-605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-605
             Project: Shindig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Gadget Rendering Server (Java)
            Reporter: John Hjelmstad


Because UserPref stores EnumValues as a Map, they're returned in random order when retrieving them via the metadata API. While not expressly codified anywhere, these are expected to be returned in gadget-specified order so that Prefs edit menus can be constructed in a reliable and user-friendly manner.

[jira] Updated: (SHINDIG-605) enumValues returned by /gadgets/metadata are in random order

Posted by "John Hjelmstad (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Hjelmstad updated SHINDIG-605:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: shindig-605.patch

Attached solution to this issue which, rather than attempting to order the enumValues map, instead introduces a new entry in the RPC response: orderedEnums. This is a JSON Array (ordered) of JSON Objects, each of which having a "value" and "displayValue" property.

This increases payload size but is backward-compatible. All this should be resolved with use of the RPC protocol rather than ad hoc RPC in any case.

Comments welcome.
