[TM4J-users] about ID(s)

[George T. <geo...@fr...>]

Hello Kal

On opening XTM files with TM4J, it seems to me that the
"Topic Map id" that is registered in the XTM is ignored.
instead the TM4J creates a new id for the "Topic Map"

<topicMap id="abc"
    xml:base="c:\xyz\123.xtm"
    xmlns="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
</topicMap>

instead of "abc" it gives to me something like "x1k75974ts-0"
is this in purpose?


Also I would like to be able to change some id(s) from already registered
"Topics".
Are you thinking to include this "id change" in the future?

Thank you
George

I think there is a way around, a little trick that is commonly used in 
topic map engines,
just add a sourcelocator of the form [xml:base]#[id] to the object. for 
your example
you have to add "c:\xyz\123.xtm#thisid" to set "thisid" for some topic 
or other topicmap object.

hope that helps.
