Re: [Compass-developer] Cyclic dependency

[Shay B. <ki...@ma...>]

Hi,

    I am currently working on Compass::Gps, which means that in the  
next version you will be able to automatically index a database (very  
simple if you are using hibernate or ojb, or just simple directly  
pointing to the database). I added some features to Compass::Core as  
well, but cyclic dependencies was not high on my list (but you gave  
it a nudge and it moved up).

    I will try to implement it in the next release (though cascading  
jumps immediately to mind, and that will be more complicated because  
of automatic dirty checking).

    If you wish to find a workaround, I will need to know more about  
the system you are working on. Especially if you are using Compass as  
your data store as well (and not database, xml). Since if you are not  
using Compass as your sole data store, you can use it and your  
mappings from the data store to your domain model, to traverse the  
data. What I mean is that once you found something with compass, show  
it to the user, and than once it is selected, load the actual data  
from the persistent data store.

   The next release is planned to be in about 4 to 5 weeks (maybe  
sooner), since we are changing many things in terms of documentation,  
the site, and Compass::Gps.

   By the way, what do you think about compass, are there any other  
enhancements that you feel are missing and would like to see in the  
next version? What are modules are using with compass?

   Cheers
Shay
