Re: Immutable NextChunk and PrevChunk

As the one responsible for this API implementation, let me give you my reasoning why I did it that way. If you give me a good case for changing it, i am more than happy to change it though...

For a consumer of the feed, it seems to be clear to me that this should be read only. A consumer can not change this, hence it makes no sense to have it read/write.

For a creator of feeds, i assumed actually that you would use AtomLink elements. If you create a feed, I assumed you would create all elements youself, and hence all links as well. So you would go ahead and create your self link, your post link etc... For this you do use the AtomLink element, set properties on it and put it into the link collection. I did assume that in that part of the creatiion process you would create the next/prev links as well, with the same mechanism.

As, during the use of the API code, i can not distinguish between client/consumer and server/creator logic, providing write access to something that the majority of users could not really change, made not a lot of sense to me.

But, as you are bringing this up, using the AtomLink objects does not seem to work well, or is too complicated? What can i do to help?

The C# AtomFeed class has NextChunk and PrevChunk properties which are
read only. Assuming I was using these gdata classes server-side to
implement a gdata server I expect I'd need these properties to be
mutable.

It seems strange that so much of the API allows me to build up feeds
and entries very easily, but I can't add a NextChunk link without
delving into the Links collection directly.
