The document outlines the work and background of Robert Lemke, co-founder of TYPO3 Flow and Neos, detailing his professional roles, personal life, and interests. It includes an extensive section on application structure, specifically relating to request handling, MVC architecture, and dependency injection within the TYPO3 framework. Additionally, it discusses HTTP standards and role management in software development while providing code snippets and examples related to these concepts.

Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet

23. 9.1 Safe and Idempotent Methods
9.1.1 Safe Methods
Implementors should be aware that the software represents the user in
their interactions over the Internet, and should be careful to allow the
user to be aware of any actions they might take which may have an
unexpected significance to themselves or others.
In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and HEAD
methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action other than
retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe". This allows user
agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT and DELETE, in a
special way, so that the user is made aware of the fact that a possibly
unsafe action is being requested.
Naturally, it is not possible to ensure that the server does not generate
side-effects as a result of performing a GET request; in fact, some
dynamic resources consider that a feature. The important distinction here
is that the user did not request the side-effects, so therefore cannot be
held accountable for them.
9.1.2 Idempotent Methods

24. no automatic persistence

25. CSRF

30. Lazy Dependency Injection

31. class BookController extends ActionController {
/**
* @FlowInject
* @var BookRepository
*/
protected $bookRepository;
}

32. class BookController extends ActionController {
…
public function myAction() {
// $this->bookRepository is instance of Dependency Proxy
$this->bookRepository->findAll();
// $this->bookRepository is the real BookRepository
}
}

38. Accounts, Users, Authentication
Flow distinguishes between accounts and persons:
_ account: TYPO3FlowSecurityAccount
_ person: TYPO3PartyDomainModelPerson
A person (or machine) can have any number of accounts.

39. Creating Accounts
_ always use the AccountFactory
_ create a party (eg. a Person) separately
_ assign the account to the party
_ add account and party to their respective repositories

40. $account = $this->accountFactory->createAccountWithPassword(
$accountIdentifier,
$password,
array($role)
);
$this->accountRepository->add($account);
$person = new Person();
$person->addAccount($account);
$name = new PersonName('', 'Robert', '', 'Lemke');
$person->setName($name);
$this->partyRepository->add($person);

41. Roles

42. roles:
User: []
Manager: ['User']
Editor: ['User', 'TYPO3.Neos:Editor']

45. /**
* Create a role and return a role instance for it.
*
* @param string $roleIdentifier
* @return TYPO3FlowSecurityPolicyRole
* @throws TYPO3FlowSecurityExceptionRoleExistsException
*/
public function createRole($roleIdentifier) {

throw new RoleExistsException(sprintf('Could not create role %s because a role with that
}
$role = new Role($roleIdentifier);
$this->roleRepository->add($roleIdentifier);
return $role;
}

46. Virtual Browser

47. /**
* @FlowInject
* @var TYPO3FlowHttpClientBrowser
*/
protected $browser;
/**
* @return array
*/
public function getBookInfo($isbn) {
$this->browser->setRequestEngine(new CurlEngine());

'http://isbndb.com/api/books.xml?index1=isbn&value1=' . $isbn);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response->getContent());
…
return $bookInfo;
}

48. Page Cache

49. /**
* Shows a list of books
*
* @return void

public function indexAction() {
$this->view->assign('books', $books);
}
