Mail and RDF
this is basically what happens, behind the scenes: var target = rdf.getresource("mailbox://alecf@pop.myisp.com/inbox"); var property = rdf.getresource("http://home.netscape.com/nc-rdf#totalmessages"); var resultnode = datasource.gettarget(target, property, true); in the folder datasource's gettarget(), target would be queryinterfaced to a nsimsgfolder.
... to get the total messages, the datasource would then call nsimsgfolder.gettotalmessages().
... an example of how this might work inside the datasource: var msgcountarc = rdf.getresource("http://home.netscape.com/nc-rdf#totalmessages"); function gettarget(target, property, unused) { var folder = target.queryinterface(components.interfaces.nsimsgfolder); if (property == msgcountarc) { var msgcount = folder.gettotalmessages(false); var result = rdf.getliteral(msgcount.tostring()); return result; } } asynchronously notifying rdf when a mail object's data changes and the data is reflected in rdf by notifying all of the observers that rdf has registered with the datasource.
