Subject: RE: Re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] getWebCGMViewerVersion
Dave votes for B thx...Dave -----Original Message----- From: Benoit Bezaire [mailto:benoit@itedo.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 12:50 PM To: cgmo-webcgm@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] getWebCGMViewerVersion Taking into account the feedback from Stuart (should return a string instead of number)... I now think we should concatenate the two calls into one, returning a single string. Why have two calls returning individual strings? Any way, I've updated proposal B, why not just vote on it so that we can move on to other issues: Proposal A: string getWebCGMViewerVersion() returns a string identifying the User Agent being used (ex: Lofton's viewer v3.2.2) Proposal B: string getAppName() returns the application name (ex: Lofton's viewer). string getAppVersion() returns the application version number (ex: 3.2.2) Benoit: votes for A. Stuart: votes for B. Others: ? -- Benoit mailto:benoit@itedo.com Monday, May 16, 2005, 6:25:02 PM, Stuart wrote: GSA> I would lean slightly to option B because I feel that an application GSA> may be more concerned with the viewer name than the version.
