RE: Domain classes from multiple assemblies...

[Jeremy Gray]

The comma separation isn’t weird. It’s bog-standard in the .net world because there’s a lot more to a type than its name, especially once you account for things like versions, cultures, etc. #2 may be “verbose, but descriptive” but would also leave you wondering “Uhh, where do I put the culture?”   From trying to pick up this thread midstream I’m not sure if you guys were discussing a possible change or not, but if so, please stick to a single attribute into which a standard type name is placed.   Jeremy Gray     From: Clinton Begin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 9:13 PM To: user-cs@ibatis.apache.org Subject: Re: Domain classes from multiple assemblies...   I meant #2.  It's verbose, but descriptive.     <typeAlias alias="Book" type="DomainTwo.Book" assembly="DomainTwo" /> I guess the comma separated set is fine if that's what getType takes anyway.....  I'll forward my horrible design soapbox comments onto Microsoft.  :-) A better design would be Type.getType (string typeName, string assemblyName).  The comma separation is just weird.  Cheers, Clinton On 7/16/06, Ron Grabowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I don't understand...do you mean: <typeAlias alias="Book" assembly="DomainTwo.Book, DomainTwo" /> or: <typeAlias alias="Book" type="DomainTwo.Book" assembly="DomainTwo" /> The first example isn't very .NET-ish. When .NET people talk about dynamically loading a Type, they talk about it in terms of its "fully qualified type name"...that's the attribute is named "type" and not "assembly". The second example is too verbose. The Type.GetType(string) method understands the namespace-dot-class-comma-space-assembly notation. --- Clinton Begin < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah ha!  I see.  I was looking for something like that. > > Just out of curiosity, why not just have an assembly="" attribute on > the > <typeAlias> element? > > Cheers, > Clinton > > On 7/16/06, Gilles Bayon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Just to to clarify, > > > > > > <alias> > >   <typeAlias alias="Document" type="DomainOne.Document, DomainOne" > /> > >   <typeAlias alias="Book" type=" DomainTow.Book, DomainTow" /> > >  </alias> > > > > Where DomainOne and DomainTow are 2 projects which compile in > DomainOne.dll > > and DomainTow .dll > > > > Is it OK ? > > > > > > >
