Intake -- Getting more Field values

[brian janaszek <bj...@collaborativefusion.com>]

Hi

I'm trying to implement some changelog functionality into our Turbine
app, and it seems that everything I need for a changelog entry is
contained within our intake.xml file.  Most of the information I can
access via either the Group of Field objects, but I'd really like to be
able to get at the mapToProperty and dataType attributes within the
Field element.  I'm assuming that I'd have to hack the Intake code to
make these attributes public (or write public accessor methods for the
attributes) since there aren't public attributes for those fields in the
Javadocs.  Has anyone else done anything similiar?  Is there another to
way to access those fields without modifying the Intake codebase?

TIA

Thanks.  I think I'll just hack at the Intake code -- it's a pretty
quick fix.

Does anyone know if there was a good reason that some intake.xml Field
attributes aren't visible outside the scope of the Field class methods?

You could just load the intake.xml file as a Document in DOM4J and do 
whatever you want.
