These series of patches adds support for embedded collections for CIMI
models. It's not quite perfect yet, since it doesn't produce the exactly
right XML yet, nor is it possible to parse objects with embedded
collections.
The main reason I like this better than the way Michal did it is because it
makes it unnecessary to have XXXCollection classes for
collections. Instead, you can just write
collection :things, :class => CIMI::Model::Thing
For example, for the disks collection in machine, we simply have
class CIMI::Model::Machine < CIMI::Model::Base
...
collection :disks, :class => CIMI::Model::Disk
...
end
The interesting stuff are the last three patches in the series. The other
ones can probably be acked and committed as they are.
