Wenfeng,
The change may break the application logic that uses DE API.
The original choice paramType
(string/float/datetime/decimal/boolean)
is changed to
paramDataType. And another choice
paramType (static/dynamic) is added. If an outside user used the original paramType
constants and
did some choice value comparison. His logic may be broken.
Besides this constants, methods won't be
impacted.
While this change is necessary, I will
document the constants in the code as clear as possible to notify the user of
the change.
(The
change doc has been refined using standard template)
Thanks

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

RE: [birt-dev] BIRT API Change Request -- new feature fordynamicandcascading
parameters
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
