* Implemented MagicCollectingArray, which acts like MagicPipingArray except that the result is collected into one big array instead of multiple arrayrefs
* Added the relevant getCollecting*List methods to the Controller class
* Added DESTROY methods to the magic array to prevent DESTROY method calls from being propagated
* Made the debug.dumpVars string more robust when the data hash includes one of the three magic characters '(', '.' or ')'
* Implemented sanitation in COSES so that any keys in the data hash containing one of the three magic characters '(', '.' or ')' will have them transliterated to '[', ':' and ']' respectively (sanitation is optional and can be bypassed)
* Changed the API of the generic output module's 'output' method to take the optional $session argument last, thus simplifying the call sites a lot
* Implemented the 'dispatcher.output' service in several classes to return strings that must be support in variants (required for a good UI in the COSES editor)
* Renamed the Login module's strings so that they use the dot-notation separating significant parts

* Added implicit data to the hash passed to the string expander from the generic output service
* To support the implicit data, added a |hash| stub method to the Session.pm module (and changed the already implemented version in the descendant user service to take this into account)
* To support the implicit data, added |hash| and |getArguments| methods to the Input.pm module (and implemented |getArguments| in the Arguments.pm module)
* To support the implicit data, made the Program.pm module keep track of the executing command
* To support the implicit data, added |hash| and |name| methods to the Program.pm module (actually, |name| was already assumed to exist in other parts of the codebase)
* Corrected trivial semantic mistake in Program.pm's |verifyInput| method
* Added a way to get a user not by username but by a specific address (modifies the user service and the user data source and it's MySQL implementation)
* Implemented GenericOutputs.pm, an implementation of 'dispatcher.output.generic' and 'dataSource.strings.default' for some strings used by other parts of PLIF (currently only supports 'stdout' and 'http' protocols, and minimally at that)
* Implemented Login.pm, a helper module that implements user authentication, user creation and the sending of a new password if it is forgotten, a utility method |hasRight| to ensure that the authenticated user has a particular right (resulting in a message if not), and various routines to support all this.
git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@96268 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43
* added addUserGroup and removeUserGroup to the data source interface for users
* added some comments
* changed many double quotes |"| to single quotes |'| where double quotes were not needed
* implemented the remaining methods for the MySQL implementation of the user data source
* added a mode flag to user fields (idea from MattyT) so that fields can be disabled, hidden, etc
git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@96152 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43
* Started implementing the MySQL version of the user data source (completed so far: database creation and a few of the SELECT calls)
* Changed the user property 'disabled' to 'mode' to enable extensibility
* Fix a potential bug with changing addresses (make sure the fake session object doesn't update the database -- this is an incomplete solution so far, fields still have the bug)
git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@95991 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43
* Moving 'typeData' around in the order of the user field constructor arguments to match the User data source's 'getField*' methods so that, again, they map more directly
* Renaming the 'getFieldFrom*' methods to 'getFieldBy*' to be consistent with 'getUserBy*'
* Implemented UserFieldFactory.pm
* Implemented Passwords.pm
git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@95980 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43
* Added a comment to DataSource/User.pm explaining how (typically) to search for a username
* Fleshed out the DataSource/User.pm API by adding some schema management methods
* Added notes on which fields in the database schema should be keys
* Added comment to Service/User.pm noting the difference between Objects, Services, and Service Instances
* Changed 'user.field.factory' to 'user.fieldFactory' to prevent a namespace collision with 'user.field.(type)'
* Calling 'insertField' in one case which I missed when adding the method
* Implemented 'hash', 'joinGroup', 'invalidateRights', 'writeProperties' and 'writeGroups'
* Changed Service/UserField.pm so that one user field class can be used for any category
* Added a 'username' convenience method and implemented 'write'
* Added a comment to Service/UserFieldFactory.pm explaining how it should work
* Removed the 'user.field.generic.generic' field implementation, replaced it with a simpler 'user.field.string' implementation

Added some comments to various user-related files.
Factored out some code that started becoming common when inserting fields in Service/User.pm.
Added code to deal with adding new contact details.
Added code to support removing fields from a user.

In addition to the code that actually does stuff, I still need to add a MySQL implementation of the data source and the Field class and its associated Factory.
Also added Passwords.pm (stubs for a password generator and encryptor) and made Session objects store a pointer to the controller object.

Added an optimisation to Controller.pm so that service names will be hashed once accessed. This should make multiple accesses of the same service a lot quicker. To go with this I added some diagnostics code (on exit) and moved the code around a little bit.
Fixed a minor transgression of the coding style guidelines in Magic*Array.pm. :-)
Neatened up the code in Output.pm.
Made it so Session objects assume they have an 'app' property, and so don't need to be passed $app all the time. (Sessions are objects now.)
Added an unimplemented getAddress() method to the Session class.
git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@94817 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43
* factored out some of the method dispatching code by adding a dispatchMethod() method to the controller;
* turned the Dispatcher class into simply a function on the base Service class and removed Dispatcher.pm;
* made it possible for services to be both services and objects and provide different services depending on which context they were called in (and used this to make the AdminCommands module actually do what it was intended to in the first place, namely, only work for CommandLine access);
* fixed it so if a service is first created by getServiceList the constructed version will actually be cached;
* made output more generic by allowing services to implement arbitrary parts of the output API, used that to make AdminCommands usable without requiring additional code to support it;
* added some documentation;
* added some dump(10) statements to help debugging;
* fixed the string datasource SQL;
* fixed the DBI database so it can handle errors;
* added tableExists API to the DBI database helper.
Thanks to myk, justdave and zach for some ideas.
