Re: [Wtp-wst-dev] comments about new API design in psychopath engine

[Mukul Gandhi <mukul.gandhi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jesper,
     In the new PsychoPath
XPath 2.0 engine API (since ver 2.0), you've defined following two interface
abstractions,

 public interface PrimitiveType
extends TypeDefinition {
       ...
 }

public interface TypeDefinition {
    
     public String getNamespace();
     public String getName();
        
     public TypeDefinition
getBaseType();

     public static final
short DERIVATION_NONE           = 0;
     public static final
short DERIVATION_EXTENSION      = 1;
     public static final
short DERIVATION_RESTRICTION    = 2;
     public static final
short DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION   = 4;
     public static final
short DERIVATION_UNION          = 8;
     public static final
short DERIVATION_LIST           = 16;
     ...
}

The relationship between PrimitiveType
and TypeDefinition in your design, looks a bit odd to me (ref, XML Schema
spec [1]). 

 If you intend to define this relationship,
shouldn't this be the other way round, perhaps as follows,

 public interface TypeDefinition
extends PrimitiveType {
     ...
 }

Thanks, Jesper for the explanation.
That's fair enough. 



While I agree that the name is not ideal, I specifically asked for your
review in early March, but got no objections? 

[mukul] I apologize for not having enough time due to other commitments,
during the time frame when you were expecting my review comments. If you
and Dave have agreed on package naming, it's fine with me. 

Regards, 
Mukul
