Object Orientated JS and new Transport Driver Definition

[Christian Stocker]

Hi

During my holidays (yo, yo, I know...) i started converting the now
completely procedural BXE to something more Object oriented. It was on
my todo list since months (and put on higher prio after some hints by
Brian), but never got on it,because 1) I never looked into OO-JS before
and 2) i was too busy with hunting bugs and features :) It's only a
start right now and there's still a lot to do, but it should make the
code a lot cleaner (hopefully)

Some introductions for OO-JS can be found at:

http://www.webmasterbase.com/article/473/91
http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2001/oop-javascript/

One of the first things converted to OO was the Transport Driver stuff.
See bxe/js/http.js for an example. There is not much to say about it,
the class just needs a load and a save method to work :)

This sounds great!

I wish to add a Mozilla SOAP transport so Bitflux will communicate with
the Bricolage Perl CMS. Maybe this will make the task easier!
If anyone here has played with SOAP and Bitflux, please share your
thoughts/issues/warnings...

Cheers,
Mike

answerss to the list but only to Holger and therefore i had to forward
all of them to the list again... it must be the jetlag :) )

Look at http.js and wyona.js from the cvs or from
http://bitflux.org/download/bitfluxeditor-latest.tgz

It should'nt be that hard to adjust and if you have questions, just ask.

Not bitflux and SOAP per se, but you will find information about Mozilla
and SOAP scripts support at:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/xmlextras/docs/Soap_Scripts_in_Mozilla.html

... and some examples in one of the chapters of the O'Reilly book just
published, which is available online under the Open Publication License:

http://books.mozdev.org/chapters/ch12.html

Just as a sidenote to this discussion:

To allow a later porting to MSIE, i will most presumably use:
http://bclary.com/xbProjects-docs/xbXMLHttpRequest/
to allow CrossBrowser xmlHTTPRequests. bclary seems to have more useful
stuff, for example xbObjects for more/easier OO stuff in JS and maybe I
will use that, too.

If anyone knows of other (better?) libraries which do similar stuff,
please let me know :)
