Hey,
Couldn't an alternative to be deprecate and get
rid of wbsetclaim as you
can do
everything it can do and more through
wbeditentity with little more
knowledge of
the serialization format..
If so, we should get rid of *all* the editing modules
Damn, seems I was to late to have addshore assassinated, and now this
discussion is starting again. The end is near!
I think when we last discussed this, we decided to keep the more specific
modules because they are better "verbs" in
the REST sense.
AFAIK this was because we want fine grained actions and interfaces for
them, not because of similarity to HTTP vebs. (I see what you are getting
at, though think HTTP verbs are a bad example here.)
They could
perhaps be re-implemented as a think layer on top of
editentity. Since all
of
them use ChangeOps by now, we wouldn't gain terribly much, i guess.
Agree, there should not be much of a difference. And if there is, the
solution lies with fixing the code, not changing the web API.
At the same time I agree with addshore that there is some cost in
maintaining this code, though if this little glue code is all that is
needed to provide a feature that is actually in demand, I think we can all
agree on it being well worth the maintenance.
Cheers
