Hi Guys,
I got online with Skype and talked with Justin one evening this week,
and learned about all the stuff he has not been sending to email!
Here is the ground we covered (GeoTools only):
- a code review of the ResourceCollection, FeatureCollection,
FeatureState ideas in geotools 2.2.x (yeah a code review for me). The
result was Justin wants FeatureState to be a Feature (so he does not
have to cut and paste some code), I would rather it not support the
Feature interface (cause it is really a "mixin" providing the attribute,
getBounds, getType information for a FeatureCollection. But I did not
care enough to complain much. The only problem is that the
FeatureState.getType() explicitly must return a FeatureCollectionType
when mixed into a FeatureCollection. Since this is API only used by
those implementing a FeatureCollection from the inside out I figure they
can read the javadocs.
And GeoAPI/GeoTools:
- the GeoAPI TypeFactory and friends, were in a bit of a mess and we
cleaned them up. I made Attribute.getType() manditory (allowing for
things like a FeatureCollection to be used "naked" - ie without an
AttributeDescriptor() describing how it is contained in something else.
Justin took a mental vacation and broke my mind with generics on the
TypeFactory methods....
I was hoping to review your work on the weekend Justin (ie when I have
volunteer time) - but so far I don't see an update. Can you commit please?
Jody
