Starting from perl scripts avaible from internet we want to develop a script that read Koha API (C4 dir) and write a .xmi file with an UML rappresentation of classes, methods and usage of methods.
Just some thoughts:
- Objects that exists in the koha code comes from low level libraries used by koha and are just arguments to the functions of the koha API which uses a procedural paradigm. - there is no strong separation of the model (as the M in MVC pattern) in the API. so i see no easy way to parse the code to obtain a clean vision of the data structures. - even the schema isn't 3NF so you can't automatically distinguish every objects while parsing it.
So if i were your student, i would be a little bit nervous: - the work is very hard - the result would be
the mission of this task is to have a better documentation of the API. We will do the best as possible. Cheers Zeno Tajoli Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)
