RE: [HAPI-devel] Varies handling.

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Keith, 

Thanks for pointing out these problems.  They are easy to fix for future
versions of HAPI -- there is actually a hook that deals with OBX-5 in the
same manner, so it can just be expanded to handle MFE and RDT.  I've put it
on the to-do list for version 0.5. 

In the mean time, your decorator approach sounds perfectly reasonable to me.


Another option is to set the datatype of each Varies object manually, using
setData().  You would parse the message, and then whatever code was using it
would check (for example) MFE-4, call setData() with the appropriate
datatype, and then getData() would return that type.  Doing this in a
decorator sounds better though.
