Re: [Bodington-developers] Plugin interface

[Jon M. <jo...@te...>]

Alistair,

could you give a rough description of what logic is contained in your My 
Modules plugin?

So far as I can see, I think your My Modules plugin idea is perfectly 
reasonable. However, I do think there are some details of implementation 
that need to be sorted out so I have some questions.

1) Instantiation of the Plugin.
One instance per Bodington web app?
One instance per resource?
One instance per template?
One instance per user session?

2) Initialisation.
Instantiated when web app initialises?
Instantiated when first accessed by template?

3) Calls out from plugin
Does the plugin use just standard runtime packages or does it hook into 
Bodington classes? For example?

4) Calls into the plugin.
Does your plugin have multiple functionality?
Does it use parameters to its method calls?
