I have created this Jira issue and am working on a patch: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2385 I have a few remarks: (1) Should this method return an AttributeDescriptor or a PropertyDescriptor? I have never seen an AssociationDescriptor instantiated in GeoTools. Jody earlier described this PropertyDescriptor as being an association. Which do you recommend. (2) I will patch all existing implementations to return null, unless it is obvious to me what they should return. Later I will patch GeoServer GML3OutputFormat to use the getDescriptor() name if it is not null. (3) Anyone got a pithy description of what this method returns? I am leaning towards: "Return the property descriptor that describes the content of the collection, or null if not known."
