[Tm4j-developers] INTERFACE CHANGE

[Kal A. <ka...@te...>]

This is a warning to anyone using the latest CVS code. I have been making=
 a=20
few interface changes recently, but one in particular may cause problems=20
unless you are aware of it.

Up until now, the relationship between a TopicMapFactory object and a Top=
icMap=20
object has been a little badly defined. I have now fixed that so that eac=
h=20
TopicMap object must have its own TopicMapFactory object, that is returne=
d by=20
calling the getFactory() method on the TopicMap object.

This change means that the getFactory() method on the TopicMapProvider=20
interface is now deprecated. The in-memory backend has been changed to re=
turn=20
null from this method - so any code relying on this method will break.

Cheers,

Kal
