XMLValidationLayer: Elements Map and ProductType to Element Map can become
inconsistent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OODT-195
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-195
Project: OODT
Issue Type: Bug
Components: file manager
Reporter: Michael Starch
Priority: Minor
XMLValidation layer does not update the the product-type-to-element map upon
element modification or removal. Thus the product-type-to-element map can
contain elements that have been removed, or modified, leaving it inconsistent
with the elements contained in the element map.
As suggested by Brian Foster:
The product-type-to-element map can be changed to map ProductType to
ElemementId strings. Then the actual element can be obtained from the element
map. The product-type-to-element map would still need to be updated (see below
solution) on removal of an element to ensure that it contains no elements
previously removed.
An alternative solution:
Update both maps upon modification or removal. This way allows both modified
elements and removed elements are handled in the exact same manner. This fix
will fail if the element map is modified outside of the removeElement or
modifyElement methods.
