Do you mean the discussion with the Jochen Wiedman (Software AG) here
This is from the thread XPath Queries: Resources without ID
- Collection should have an isOpen method to determine if the collection
is still open.
- Collection methods should throw an exception if the collection is closed.
Hmm. Can you give me a use case? If the API is not Connection-based why we need a close()/isOpen() method? .. Please ignore my ignorance. ;-)
A collection can still consume resources that need to be released when you'
re done. In dbXML this is a CORBA object but in the reference impl there is nothing but it could be a directory cache or something like that. Anyway, the problem is once you call close the collection is invalid so you need a way to test for this. Another use case is that we have a CollectionPool as a contributed project at dbXML and the pool needs to know if a collection is still open or not to determine if it should be returned to the pool.
After this update I also want to make the existence of the API more widely
known and issue a call for implementations.
I hope that Per Nyfelt is able to provide the implementation of the XML:DB API. With this we could announce 2 + 1 ref implementations.
Did you ever get the code from him for the ozone impl?
