Command Layer Definition

Command layer contains mechanism to make Cytoscape functions easily accessible from application layer. This layer should be separated from application layer and can be used in any mode: Desktop application, server version, and command line version.

Requirments

Command layer should be separated from application or UI.
Commands should be accessible from scripting (dynamic) languages.
Should be manageable by Undo manager (in application layer).
Extensible. Plugin writers and developers use Cytoscape as library can add their own commands.

Multiple Language Support

Commands should be easily accessible dynamic (scripting) languages, including Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.

Functions Encapcelated as Command

In general, most of the classes in cytoscape.actions will be converted into Commands.

Design

Each command will be represented as an OSGi service.
Command executes the function through the OSGi service registory.

Implementation
