doc/Stripes R3 Notes

1. WikiContext changes to an interface. This means that:
   a. WikiContext can no longer be instantiated directly
   b. WikiContext.setLocale() does not work


A. WikiContext can no longer be instantiated directly.

Guidance: use WikiContextFactory to create WikiContext objects. WikiContextFactory contains two methods for this purpose, newViewContext() (for VIEW contexts), and newContext() (for other contexts, including VIEW). WikiContextFactory can be obtained via the getWikiContextFactory() method of WikiEngine. Thus, to create WikiContexts, change:

 WikiContext ctx = new WikiContext( m_engine, page );
 context.setRequestContext( WikiContext.VIEW );
 
to this:
 
 WikiContext ctx = m_engine.getWikiContextFactory().newViewContext( null, null, page );

or:

 (example goes here)

For WikiContexts that are not VIEW contexts, setting the request context after creation via WikiContext.setRequestContext() is discouraged. The request context should instead be passed to the factory method newContext.


B. Static method WikiContext.setLocale() is no longer available.

Guidance: replace WikiContext.getLocale() with WikiContextFactory.getLocale(). For example, change:

 WikiContext.getLocale(m_context);

to this:

 WikiContextFactory.getLocale(m_context);


C. Static WikiContext.findContext() is no longer available.

Guidance: replace WikiContext.findContext() with WikiContextFactory.findContext(). For example, change:

 WikiContext ctx = WikiContext.findContext(pageContext);

to this:

 WikiContext ctx = WikiContextFactory.findContext(pageContext);


2. Obsolete and otherwise crufty methods have been eliminated from WikiContext. 

Because of the elimination of the Command interface in favor of Stripes ActionBeans, the following methods in WikiContext have been eliminated also:
- getName(). Guidance: replace wikiContext.getName() with wikiContext().getPage().getName()
