Re: [udig-devel] small updates ...

[andrea antonello <andrea.antonello@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jody,
thanks for the updates. I am back in the office now.
I will look into all those things this afternoon/evening.

One quick and small question right away: I see the feature editing
occurs through the DIRTY in the getData object. Then probably the
value of the component is taken and put into the feature to modify it.
Doe the superclass traverse all the components searching for that
attribute?
Is it possible for me to tweak that? For example I might have a combo
with names of cities, but in fact in the feature attribute a code for
them should be written.
Example: I see:
merano, bolzano, trento

and when I select merano, a 1 should be written in the attribute
table, in the case of Bolzano a 2 and so on.

I will get back to you when I went through the code, thanks for the updates,
Andrea
