Roadmap

Mid Term

Refactor Registration Process of Mail Template Context

Currently, mail template contexts can be defined in the component XML file. These files are processed by \ilMailTemplateContextDefinitionProcessor::beginTag and \ilMailTemplateContextDefinitionProcessor::endTag, which are called by the \ilComponentDefinitionReader.

Current Problems: * \ilMailTemplateContextService::getContextInstance is used in multiple contexts. * Certain dependencies (retrieved from $DIC) do not exist or are replaced with fake objects during setup, but the actual services are required in the constructors of the concrete implementations. * There should be an interface segregation for the registration of mail template contexts and the actual provided context which is responsible to provide/replace placeholders. * To solve the problem, the mail context implementations are currently created with the Reflection API in the setup context.

IRSS Integration

Files should be handled by the IRSS
