mysql_server component (sub-worklog for wl6667) HLS: === What is the problem ? MySQL has a platform independent character set implementation. To minimize string conversions all strings in the server core have a character set attached to them that's carried along as further as possible. This is done through a special C++ class (String). Components may need to manipulate some of these String instances. But due to the fact that C++ classes don't travel well across heap boundaries (dll/exe etc) we need a C API for these class instances. Why only this much ? The full API for that would be very large. So this worklog implements only the minimum subset that the password validation component (and plugin) needs. How ? We take the existing composite plugin service (a wrapper around String methods) and break it up into multiple logically separate component services. This is a typical example for how re-engineering of existing plugin APIs into service APIs should go.
