[Mapbender-dev] PHP class model

[Christoph Baudson]

Currently, Mapbender uses a the PHP class "administration" for almost 
all interaction with the data model. As the file is almost unbearably 
large (and really not intuitive to use), we have agreed upon 
strengthening other classes by moving the functions of "administration" 
to more appropriate classes.

Examples follow. But first: I have generated a new class "User". I 
wonder why we didn't have any before, as the entity user is quite 
essential to Mapbender.

1) I moved "getGuisByPermission" to class "User" and named it 
"getApplicationsByPermission". Class administration is still used as a 
wrapper, but the function is marked as deprecated.

2) I moved "getWfsConfByPermission" to class "User". Class 
administration is still used as a wrapper, but the function is marked as 
deprecated.

This will be included in 2.5 for the following reasons
- it's refactoring and won't break existing code
- it's a model for our GSoC students working on the administrative 
interface in Summer

Please ask if I forgot something important.
