Subject: MarkupType question
Our mobile guys are looking to adding extensions to the MarkupType type that will allow Oracle to further qualify the markup type based on a notion of device type. I.e. in the grand world of multi-device environments the mime-type isn't sufficient to qualify rendition support; it is useful to have a way to specify mime-type/device-type pairs as a way to qualify rendition support. They asked me whether its legal for a producer to generate a portlet description with a markupType array which contains multiple entries with the same mime-type value. [This occurs if the producer is using such an extension as it expresses the mime-type portion of the mime/device pair in the regular mime-tytpe field while the device type information in an extensions]. And if such a thing is legal if there are rules for how consumers deal/treat such a set of references? Does it concatentate them? Does it ignore all but one [the first?]? Does it ignore this portlet? Any of the above as the consumer is free to do whatever it wants and we have no recommendation on what it should do? In answering this question can you answer it both from the theoretical perspective [i.e. what you think the right answer is] and if you have a consumer implementation, from the practical perspective [what your current implementation does]? -Mike-
