Re: [ptp-dev] new rm implementation

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

I was assuming we'd have a single all-purpose RM. The client code in all the current RM's is pretty much identical, so it should be possible.

Regards,
Greg

If so, then there should not be any further need for implementing RM abstractions: we just provide one concrete implementation (call it XMLConfigurableResourceManager ?) to the extension point.  This is built using the XML, probably by composing into it a set of beans specified by interfaces.  The RM is then entirely agnostic as to the specific attributes, and always does the same thing.  Does this sound correct?

I would include this in the configuration for flexibility, but would hope that each RM does not require another concrete implementation of the new API (though it could if it needed to do something really special).

I've also updated ptp.core and ptp.ui so that you can add/remove/edit the new resource managers. The don't do anything, and currently there's no way to start/stop them or launch using them.
