Regrets
Agenda
- APIs for Transient Connection Profiles
- Add one method to ProfileManager
- public IConnectionProfile createTransientProfile(String providerID, Properties baseProperties) throws ConnectionProfileException;
- All other ProfileManager APIs deal with permanent (i.e. non-transient) profiles
- deleteProfile from ProfileManager could be retooled slightly to understand transient vs. non-transient profiles
- another option is to simply add another property that indicates that a given profile is "transient". if such a profile is found when the ProfileManager is disposed, it gets discarded
- Open discussion
Minutes
- For new transient profiles, new method for ProfileManager
- public IConnectionProfile createTransientProfile(String providerID, Properties baseProperties) throws ConnectionProfileException;
- Revise the current API
- public void createProfile(String name, String description, String providerID, Properties baseProperties) throws ConnectionProfileException;
- to
- public IConnectionProfile createProfile(String name, String description, String providerID, Properties baseProperties) throws ConnectionProfileException;
- change it so it returns an IConnectionProfile instance
- change it so that name and description can be passed in to be null
- see if binary compatibility is broken with this change
- ProfileManagerInitializerProvider issues discussed with Larry (Linda will create bug)
