[january-dev] question about metadata
|
Howdy,
We've been using the January metadata APIs, and I have some questions.
First some code:
We've added new metadata interfaces...e.g.
interface IIdMetadata extends IMetadata {
...
}
And have an implementing class e.g.:
class IdMetadata extends Metadata implements IIdMetadata {
...
}
We add metadata to a dataset:
dataset.addMetadata(new IdMetadata());
Then we access the metadata:
IIdMetadata id = dataset.getFirstMetadata(IIdMetadata.class);
All this works fine.
We have occasions, however, where we would like to be able to do the
following:
(redeclaration of above IdMetadata class):
class IdMetadata extends Metadata implements IIdMetadata,
SomeOtherMetadata {
...
}
and then
SomeOtherMetadata som = dataset.getFirstMetadata(SomeOtherMetadata.class);
and have it return a non-null object (the instance that implements both
IIdMetadata and SomeOtherMetadata).
In my current tests, this does not work. The SomeOtherMetadata.class
query returns null. My question: Is this behavior desired/intended?
Thanksinadvance,
Scott
