Martin, Does JUMP currently have any introspection code to get a property from an object by a name, something like commons-beanutils. If it does I can use introspection to see if the FeatureSchema has a "name" property if it does use that rather than requiring it on the FeatureSchema class.
BTW I think that FeatureSchema should be an interface not a class. Paul Martin Davis wrote: > Good questions, Michael, especially the one about having different > schemas with the same name.
