Metadata is broken up into a series of Document parts (the corresponding class in DocumentCommand). Each one of these is named, and are then selected according to the metadata strings on the URI (falling back on the unnamed one if there is no string or no match). Each Document then contains a set of "parts" (MetadataPart) which contain the actual information (the top level in the dot notation) - some parts give you further information on where to find the data (like DateRedirect - we call these control parts), others on what the data is (like Info). Each Document is only supposed to contain one control part, but beyond that little can be said about them in general. > The question is how do I get to the redirect information?

You can get the control part by calling .getControlPart() on the DocumentCommand, but I'm not sure what you mean by getting the "redirect information". You are talking about a key, but nothing guarantees that a control part redirects to a single key - clearly SplitFile does not for example. A control part only makes sense if you know what it does. -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
