Can I extend a ProjectArea?
I'm about to start down the path of learning how to extend Jazz and one
immediate question is: Can I extend a ProjectArea? I'd like the ability to create a specialized project area with models that can be edited as an additional tab(s) on the ProjectArea editor. Are there any examples of this? Bryan |
One answer
The work item categories tab that you see in the project area editor is
such an example. The extension is done by explicitly modeled items that maintain a back pointer to the project area. Please note that we currently provide work items with a back door to extend the project area editor. The extension point is declared internal. We have done it this way as we are not yet sure about the best way to allow editor/model extensions. The fundamental issue we are concerned about is the semantics of saving the editor when using the described approach to implement extensions. In a perfect world the save would cause a single server round trip exhibiting transactional behavior. In the current reality, saving the editor issues multiple server requests that together do not exhibit transactional behavior. For experimental purposes however it is ok to use the internal extension point. Kai Jazz Process component Bryan Hunt wrote: I'm about to start down the path of learning how to extend Jazz and one |
