Re: [TM4J-users] Problem to create a new topic using the name of a deleted topic

[Dicheva, D. <dic...@ws...>]

Hello Lars,

Just to report: no luck :-(

I included tmSysFac.setProperty("tm4j.static.merge", "true"); 
but it didn't help... 

So, if in a topic map the merge byTopicName feature is set
(tmfac.setFeature("http://tmapi.org/features/merge/byTopicName",true);),

one cannot delete topics and create them back... It is strange, isn't
it? Do you have an idea what is the logic behind?

Obviously, I have to give up on using the merge by topic name feature.

Thanks for your help anyway - you saved me bunch of time :-)

All the very best,
Darina
