Resolution: Fixed
this is fixed.
> XMLPS field mapping function attribute names are confusing
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OODT-627
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-627
> Project: OODT
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: xmlps
> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Reporter: Michael Joyce
> Fix For: 0.11
>
>
> In the mapping file we can specify a mapping function to apply to a field.
> This allows for semi-complex mappings to be handled easily. However, the
> current calls in XMLPS result in the mappings being applied in reverse order
> (relative from the "expected" direction).
> Consider the following mapping that modifies the example config mentioned in
> the XMLPS Quick Start Guide [1]. Instead of returning the id as a number we
> want it as either the string "first" or "second".
> {code:xml}
> <field type="dynamic" name="id" dbname="product_id">
> <translate>
> <func class="org.apache.oodt.xmlps.mapping.funcs.ReplaceFunc" orig="1"
> with="first" />
> <func class="org.apache.oodt.xmlps.mapping.funcs.ReplaceFunc" orig="2"
> with="second" />
> </translate>
> </field>
> {code}
> My initial impression is that we're mapping the original value (1 or 2) to
> the new "with" values (first or second). With the current implementation this
> is not the case. We're actually mapping "first" to 1 and "second" to 2.
> I propose that we change the implementation so the attributes are easier to
> understand.
