@possiblevalues annotation for ImpliedElementProperty [message #1707188]

Hi,

Is there any way to use
@possiblevalues( property = "/path/to/a/ImpliedElementProperty")
on a ImpliedElementProperty. For example I have

@Type(base = Name.class)
ImpliedElementProperty PROP_AUTHOR_NAME = new ImpliedElementProperty(TYPE, "AuthorName");

where name.class has 3 Value<String> - firstName, middleName, and lastName. I want to create a CONTACT_NAME property which is also of the same base type Name.class and make it refer to author names. But I am not able to use @possiblevalues to say that the CONTACT_NAME should be a valid AUTHOR_NAME

Thanks
Chandrika

You can't use @PossibleValues to populate multiple value properties at once. It can only be associated with a single value property.

Best you can do is something similar to the way city/state/zip is handled in the contacts sample with three separate inter-dependent PossibleValueService implementations. So if the user types in "John" as first name, they can browse last names of authors with that first name.
