Hi Simon,
I'm changing the FeatureSource and in setFeatureSource an update on
the source_term_id happens. In the case the combination is already
there, I get an Exception. The proper way to deal with that would be
to get the seqfeature_id of the entry already there and use that, or
try to update the rank unless its a unique combination? Or should I
rather not mess with the BioJava and delete that entry and insert it
as new to let BioJava handle the rank increase?
Thanks for any advise
Martina

Hi Martina,
In fact you can, as rank is the field that allows this to happen. In
Biojava, currently it's just a linearily incremented number such that
you can have the same type and source IDs for a given bioentry.
For example, adding a Genbank entry with 10 CDS features for 1 bioentry
will give you identical keys for bioentry_id, type_term_id and
source_term_id, but will have a rank of 1 - 10 for each.
