Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Object Types as Objects?

Collapse
Posted by Dean Des Rosiers on
I've spent quite a lot of time in Java.  Ordinarily I don't use much "reflection" or "introspection," but when you need it you need it bad.  It's nice to have.

I guess what we would need to do is to hook into the new_object_type functionality and make sure we add a new object type proxy instance for the new object type.  We'd also need an update script.

As I alluded to in the originating message of this thread, I personally am not looking to re-create Java's type system.  I just need to be able to create relationships that have an object-type on one side.  If this needs to wait until some much later release, that's fine.  I guess I just don't want to push back general-ratings too much.  Associating rating dimensions with object types is a pretty important feature to me, though.  Any thoughts?
