I have two questions/concerns with the GCD format.
<property name="code" type="string(3)" ...>
Why have type= be a composite attribute, instead of having two separate
attributes: type="string" size="3" ?
The only reason I ask is this would really complicate creating any design
tools (a GNUe Designer module, etc), as then you can't just have simple
controls, like a Combo Box with (string|number|...) and an edit field for the
sizes.
Also,
<property name="upd" type="UPDATE_Update" />
Seems to me that you're only asking for trouble later on by having the
type=".." serve two functions, one being a static list of data types and the
other being a referenced field. It might make more sense to have "type=" be a
limited, controlled list (like type="string|number|reference") and adding
another attribute for the referenced properties; i.e., the example above
would be:
<property name="upd" type="reference" reference="UPDATE_Update" />
Maybe "reference" isn't the ideal keyword to use, but I having dug deep into
the appserver terminology yet.
These are my only two concerns wrt being able to do a GNUe Designer module,
and to be able to take better advantage of existing integrity tools.
