| RE: [birt-dev] BIRT API Change Request -- new feature fordynamicandcascading parameters |
Rock,
Understand the file format will not be an issue. At the API level, will the change break application that uses DE API? If so, which interface and method will be impacted? If we have to make this change, we will need to document the interface/method that is going to be impacted.
Regards,
Wenfeng

The paramType is a choice name, it will not be written into the design
file.
In ROM, the original property definition:
<Property detailType="paramType"name="dataType" runtimeSettable="false"
since="1.0" type="choice">
is changed to:
<Property detailType="paramDataType" name="dataType"
runtimeSettable="false" since="1.0" type="choice">
Only the property name "dataType" and the choice value will be written
into the design file, like:
<property name="dataType">dataTime</property>
In API level, only the static choice name member name will be changed. I
will refactory them all before I check in the code.
(The reason I change the choice name is that we introduced another more
senseful "paramType" choice name used to tell
whether a parameter is static or dynamic. )
Thanks

Is it possible not to rename paramType to paraDataType? Such
change will break DE API compatibility. What is the other type that
needs to have the "paramType" name? Is there an alternative to it?
