Justin, your understanding is correct. I was advocating better GeoAPI support for complexType with simpleContent (e.g. CodeType, MeasureType). There are two ugly but effective workarounds: (1) smuggle simple content in a fake property, or (2) smuggle simple content in UserData. I am not blocked, just trying to improve the code base. The change I advocate will need a proposal because it will break everything that uses a ComplexType, gets its value, and expects a Collection of Property. I will chat to Jody soon. -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <[email protected]> Software Engineer, CSIRO Exploration and Mining Australian Resources Research Centre 26 Dick Perry Ave, Kensington WA 6151, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Geotools-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel
