Re: [Cs-studio-core] save/ restore for CSS - anywhere?

Services are already pluggable. Each service is identified by a runtime string. Instead using "masar/save" you use "foo/save". No extra work to do. The only way that you can make it not pluggable is if you hardcoded the String in the Java code...

What would be nice ... Vasu, here at MSU, has been needing these VType->NTTypes to be serialize-able to put in a database (and json representation).  If we could make the plugin save these objects to file or to MASAR, or to database; that would be great?  No?
... but yes on, making the config/persistence pluggable.

Hi:

Would it make sense to combine these?
Start with the PVTable as a UI, making the config/persistence pluggable:
One implementation uses the existing files, another uses the MASAR service?
That way, somebody who downloads a basic CSS can start standalone using files,
and once you setup MASAR you can save/restore to it?

Thanks,
Kay
