EIMarketContext versus emix:MarektContext

[Edward Koch <ed@akuacom.com>]

Bill,

I've been seeing a lot of JIRA's related to the use of EiMarketContext versus the emix:MarketContext. I don't have time to go review all the changes you are making with regards to this, but let me point out that the EiMarketContext contains the emix:MarketContext and is an extension to include attributes not defined in the emix:MarektContext, therefore as a general rule we don't lose anything by using it.  The opposite can't be said if you substitute an existing reference to the EiMarketContext with a reference to the emix:MarektContext since the attributes in the EIMarektContext that are not in the emix:MarketContext sand will not be available. I fear this may be the case with respect to the Avail and Opt services. I'm not going to burn too many cycles on this now since in theory we can easily resolve it later by putting int the appropriate reference. The bigger issue is to use the notion of the market context correctly and put in the references whether it is the EIMarketContext or the emix:MarketContext.


thanks,
