Hi people,

conserning link mapping I have such thoughts

Lets have part "pEmployer" & device "MapTest"
---------------------------------------------
<part name=3D"pEmployer">
<terminals>

<inpin id=3D"1" name=3D"addEmployee" >
 <parameter type=3D"String" name=3D"name"  />
 <parameter type=3D"int" name=3D"age"  />
 <parameter type=3D"int" name=3D"salary"  />
</inpin>

</terminals>
</part>
-------------------------------------------------------
and there is a device "MapTest" where we have inpin "setEmployee" and =
outpin "SET_EMPLOYEE" for considering both cases
-------------------------------------------------------
<device name=3D"MapTest">
<terminals>

<inpin id=3D"1" name=3D"setEmployee" >
 <parameter type=3D"int" name=3D"age" />
 <parameter type=3D"String" name=3D"name" />
</inpin>

<outpin id=3D"51" name=3D"SET_EMPLOYEE" >
 <parameter type=3D"int" name=3D"age" />
 <parameter type=3D"String" name=3D"name" />
</outpin>

</terminals>

<part id=3D"1" type=3D"part" name=3D"org.vcb.parts.util.Clock" =
source=3D"pClock.xml" />


<link from=3D"1" to=3D"101" >
  <map from_index=3D"1" to_index=3D"2" / >
  <map from_index=3D"2" to_index=3D"1" / >
  <map type=3D"int" value=3D"500" to_index=3D"1" / >
</link>

<link from=3D"51" to=3D"101" >
  <map from_index=3D"1" to_index=3D"2" / >
  <map from_index=3D"2" to_index=3D"1" / >
  <map type=3D"int" value=3D"600" to_index=3D"1" / >
</link>
</device>
-------------------------------------------------------------
in link's map part we have  'from_index' with id which shows index of =
parameter taken from the pin signature, that is placement=20
for example:
    setEmployee(int age, String name)
        from_index =3D"0" means (int age)
        from_index=3D"1" means(String name)

so we can define by index, which parameter of from_index goes to which =
parameter of to_index
then if in <map> tag there is no from_index then look for (type & value) =
which would be constants placed to the appropriate to_index.
