Re: [Olap4j-devel] Measure - fetching format string

[Luc B. <luc...@gm...>]

Just to clarify, if m.getPropertyValue took a String, would that make the
API saner?

Also, it seems that the bug you've identified is caused by passing the
property enum instance inside of m.getPropertyValue while it needs the
hydrated property object to get a match in a map somewhere. Dunno if it
should take both. Anyways. Seems to me we have to cleanup the lookups of
properties. Just need to figure out if the olap4j API is misleading, or the
mondrian implementation.
