[Geotools-devel] AttributeType vs DefaultAttributeType

[Jody G. <jga...@re...>]

I am getting bogged down in attribute type, I am so happy to finish with 
the FeatureType interface and was looking forward to being out of the woods.

The woods kept going.

Right now AttributeType is an interface, many of the useful subclasses 
are classes (like ListAttribtueType).

So do I make them interfaces? Do I hack them as classes? In general the 
AttributeType interface needs to be a bit more explicit if we are to 
pull this off. Being forced to do a bunch of instance of checks for a 
possible open set of extentions is not going to scale.

I am going to review Jesse's xpath interfaces, and the jakarta xpath 
interfaces and come back with a plan.

Chris and David what were your intentions with respect to AttributeType?
