[Perl-workflow-devel] RFE / Patchset - Multiple factories

[Oliver W. <ma...@ol...>]

Hi,

I am working for the OpenXPKI project and we are using the Workflow 
module for a long time. We have the need to run multiple factories in 
parallel and used to hack the symbol table to get this running.
I want to get rid of that hack and have prepared a patch against 
Workflow 1.34_1 which is attached to this mail.

The patch replaces the "FACTORY" Superglob by an internal reference 
pointer to the corresponding factory. The patched code passes all tests 
and does not modify any external interfaces. Without a special factory, 
the code should not show any differences and still allows using the 
FACTORY glob.

To use the power of the new patch, you just need to extend the Factory 
class with a default constructor.

I request to include this patch into the upstream release. If you need 
any additional tests/docs, etc feel free to ask.

Oliver
