The EntityStore SPI is created so that types of objects can be fairly dynamic, and even created on the fly. However, Entity composites have compile-time definitions of what properties they have. So what properties an Entity has cannot change in runtime. You can certainly let an Entity have a Property<Map<String,String>> though, but like Niclas said, this will not be indexable/queryable. What is the actual usecase you want to solve? /Rickard _______________________________________________ qi4j-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ops4j.org/mailman/listinfo/qi4j-dev
