[Moose-dev] Re: MooseId vs MooseName

Thanks this is what I thought but I forgot everything. BTW there are some broken method in FamixNameResolver and we started to add two three method to be able to reach compiled method and class from famixMethod and famixClass. in which packages do we put that? Because this is more in FAMIX-Smalltalk than in FAMIX-implementation but this is really related to how to reach the smalltalk code.

If it is not unique, then you just do not benefit from the by name lookup mechanism, but you can still continue to store your entities in a group and have the group behave like a normal collection. > > Cheers, > Doru > > > On 7 Nov 2011, at 23:14, Stéphane Ducasse wrote: > >> >> On Nov 7, 2011, at 10:37 PM, Tudor Girba wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> On 7 Nov 2011, at 14:05, Usman Bhatti wrote: >>> >>>> Hi guys >>>> >>>> We are adding Author to Moose as an experience to learn how to extend moose. >>>> In the past, for a moose entity with a unique name we were using the uniqueName as mooseID >>>> What is the status now? >>> >>> I do not understand the question. mooseName is not essential for storage, but it can be used to retrieve an element from a group based on it. >> >> long time ago uniqueName was used as a mooseId and I was wondering if we should introduce a unique naming schema for new entity but this is not the case. >> >> >>> >>>> For example we would to make sure that author can be retrieved by their name >>>> >>>> mooseModel entityNamed: 'me' >>>> and that we do not have conflict with other Moose entity. >>> >>> Then, make it unique :).
