Hi Kevin, Frank,
Yes, Frank, thanks a lot. This is what exactly I was looking for.
When this gets added to the SDO spec, I would surely like to work
on the Tuscany-SDO implementation part of it.
Also, Kevin, will you please provide me some pointers on the scheme
front. I have so far worked on DAS and will need to know more
of SDO to get a better understanding.
Regards,
Amita

Hi Amita,
I'm pretty sure when you say "the current SDO" you are meaning the Tuscany
implementation. The SDO spec allows for extensibility here in that it
includes a "scheme" prefix to the path syntax, which if left out is
implicitly "sdo:". Tuscany only has the default scheme implemented. So one
way forward might be to implement an alternative scheme. However, I'm not
sure that would work, since the interfaces which would permit the return of
a collection (get(),getList()) have javadoc documentation which constrain
them to return the "value of a Property". A long while back I heard talk
of an XPathHelper I think, but I don't have a notion of any current
activity in that direction at the spec or implementation level. Is this
something you feel you'd like to get involved with?
Best Regards, Kelvin.
