I can see usages of catalog stuff in the data module of geoserver 1.4.x, but cannot see anything in geoserver actually using the data module. So we're basically not using it? Eclipse tells me stuff like DefaultGeoserverCatalog is used only by unit tests, and the catalog interfaces are used a little in the Data class, but seems only stored there... it's like an unfinished work. >> Putting undocumented and untested stuff in main seems like a blitz to >> me, not the proper way to do things in a community of peers. > Justin moved quickly; and we were unable to review ourselves (it will be > expensive for us to integrate this into uDig, but we figured since we > could not give him the time of day when he needed it we have to take the > pain). You're telling me uDig does not uses it? So it's not unit tested nor real world tested??? > All we can do is fix the policy that allowed this situation to occur: > this is the motivation for the "unsupported" module system (ie GeoTools > formally asks for documentation upfront before work is rolled into the > core library). Hem... I see no catalog module in unsupported, in fact it's still there in main even on trunk... Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
