[OpenAjaxIDE] Spec and schema updated for factory method feature (paramName, paramValue, etc.)

[Jon Ferraiolo]

Bertrand,
Thanks for the careful review and for noticing my omission. I have made
changes now to talk about passing either a String or Function. If you could
review the text again, that would be much appreciated.

Jon

It looks good except I don’t think you made explicit that in the case of a
generic factory, the parameter value can be a string or a function. Maybe
we could have a second example:
<method name="classFactory">
  <parameter name="classToInstantiate" datatype="Function"/>
  <returns datatype="classToInstantiate"/>
</method>
At runtime this method can be invoked as follows: myShape = classFactory
(acme.graphtools.circleClass) or myShape = classFactory
(acme.graphtools.rectClass).

Could people please take a look at the write-up that I have added to the
spec on the new factory method features that we decided on during Tuesday's
phone call? Here is the URL:

http://www.openajax.org/member/wiki/OpenAjax_Metadata_Specification_API_Metadata#returns_element


We still haven't decided whether the tag names should be:

* <returns>/<return>
* <returnTypes>/<returnType>
* <return-types>/<return-types>

We'll probably have to make that decision on Tuesday.

Jon
