Runtime Document Types

Has any thought been put to allowing document types to be specified at runtime, instead of just via xml files in deployed jars?

Thanks,

Sean

We've thought about it but there are a number of issues with who is allowed to do that, in what user interface, where is the definition stored to be still available after a server restart, how to deal with schema changes and data migration, and so on. In theory of course it's possible (and already done when hot-reloading via Nuxeo Studio).

All as I expected. Just wanted to see if any work had actually been done / underway as a project we're soon to embark on could use it.
