After a quick review of the code and playing with a simple example I have a couple of thoughts. First, the framework for a wizard should probably be abstracted out. At its core, a wizard is simply a view whose navigation is in a controlled predictable order which allows the manipulation of a data model. By defining those core interfaces ( view/renderer, controller, data model) the projects flexiblity is greatly enhanced. Second, the use of an xml wizard definition file which the system uses to generate a wizard instance would definitely make the system easier to use. The real trick will be keeping the file simple yet powerful. To that end, the creation of a format for the wizard definition file would be a great start. In regards to the xml api choices, I think it's too early to make a decision. Let me know what you think. |
