[Pas-dev] Proposals

[Mental P. <me...@ne...>]

Wow, you're a busy guy over there :)

Regarding the last 3 proposals... it always takes me a little bit to
really 'get it', but I like the simple execute method generation. Sites
with a lot of similar page objects spring to mind. Seems like a waste to
write the same if() else() blocks all the time.

I completely understand the need for compile time code generation too.
As an add on, I'd like to also point out that in addition to the compile
time code building, taglibs would be a nice to have also. They're
obviously for very different purposes, but would compliment each other
nicely.=20

I'm not completely on board with the parameter map idea. If you ask me,
its just asking for a steeper maintenence curve. The autogen of getsets
can be difficult enough to map out at times. This comes back in some
ways to reasons we deprecated $self->prev and the coupling of page
objects to psp's. Maybe I'm too reliant on ctags tho. I dont think its a
_bad_ idea, I just think worst case sometimes. I'm not completely sold
on why you'd want to couple the query object to the page file in the
first place. I can understand the convenience of it. The automagic name
scrubing was a great example of why its good. The ramp up time of
someone not familiar with the technique may very well be short enough to
be a non-issue. Guess I'll just think on it a little and see....

So, what are your thoughts on the order you'd want to do this in? I wish
I had more time to contribute to this stuff...=20
