Subject: RE: [regrep] Proposal: RIM Slot enhancements
David, > What is the rationale, and what is the requirement? Talking about the first proposal, order in Slot's values, the rationale is that order-awareness in a collection of values gives you a richer set of ways on how to use/extend it! And if you don't need it (info about order), don't use! The complexity was aleady added when decided that a Slot can have more than 1 value - but a collection of values! It requires that the order of Slot values (according to the present specs a Collection of LongName) is maintained by the Registry so that the values are returned in the same order that they have been submitted once the Slot has been saved to Registry. The second proposal is more of a suggestion on how to use the slot mechanism and how to take advantage of it. It might increase complexity and does need more thinking. That's way it is being proposed here, so that people can think about it and give their contributions to the specs. Anyway, vendors can decide to offer this suggested slot handling and many others that I can't think about. One more point for order in Slot's values. > BTW - I thought the whole point of using slots was so that > we did NOT need to change the RIM behaviours!?! Btw, true, except if we find some points where improvements can be made and would benefit not only the sub-team work but RIM as a whole. Regards, Diego
