Sure; my major problem is with us getting halfway there and leaving users stranded.
If we can double back to the proposal for a moment ... we had the concept of a collection() method that would return an instance of Collection<Feature>. There are two ways to do integration with the large geoapi model armed with such a method: - have collection() return a org.opengis.feature.FeatureCollection - make a wrapper around that collection that implements org.opengis.feature.FeatureCollection Before you think I am insane here me out.... We still need to account for the functionality of a "join", that shows up as an "association" in a Feature. When doing a query we get back a org.geotools.feature.FeatureCollection that lets us have access to individual Features. When those Features have an association the result will be an org.opengis.feature.FeatureCollection - we will need to do a query into another table and get a Collection<Feature> back. At that point we can either use collection() or introduce a wrapper.
