[udig-devel] ID

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did look at the GeoServer Catalog class (they now just use a String 
for identifier).

To follow up our conversation I have committed a sample ID class with 
the following api:

class ID {
  ID( File );
  ID( URI );
  ID( URL );
 
  boolean equals( Object );
  int hashCode();

  File toFile()
  String toString();
  URI toURI();
  URL toURL();
}

I will try it out and let you know if it helps at all.
