Re: [higgins-dev] ContextFactory.getContexts() clarification
|
This doesn't seem compatible with the notion of searching for a
ContextProvider that services a particular Context. (In other words,
look for a Context, find the appropriate ContextProvider, then open the
Context...)
Also, do you mean "open for this particular requester" or just open in
general? Since opening requires AuthN, what good is it to know whether
some Context happens to be open for some other consumer? This requester
still might not be able to open it.
On the other hand, I don't think that a ContextProvider must freely
advertise all of its Context URIs. (I keep thinking about
dynamically-created (probably non-persistent) Contexts for specific
views of data, which might be sensitive. I know that's not what we've
been talking about lately, but it's my understanding that that's part of
the model.)

The conservative route is to have this call return all contexts which
ARE opened. I can imagine Context Providers than that would have a
hard time returning the list of all contexts that they could open.
I’ve just updated this page <http://spwiki.editme.com/ContextProvider>
(see red text) to reflect the “ARE opened” approach. Chime in if you
see a problem with this.

Currently in code: IContextProvider.getContexts()

On http://spwiki.editme.com/ContextProvider
getContexts(String filter) - return the set of Context References
(URIs) managed by this provider
the word "open" being what I'm wondering about. Does this call return
all contexts which are or _could_ be opened, or only those currently
opened?
