Negative VOTE Issue 131: Use order element to allow duplicates
Javadogs,
Please reply if you have an issue with this.
Currently the spec does not appear to support an element that allows
mapping a collection (duplicates allowed) to a table with a column
specifically to allow duplicates. We have an <order> element but it
seems to be just for ordering.
I'd like to propose using the order element to be used for
duplicates. As a side effect, the collection might be ordered but
that's not a requirement.
<spec>
ELEMENT order
This element specifies the mapping for the ordering component of
arrays and lists.
</spec>
<proposed>
ELEMENT order
This element specifies the mapping for the ordering component of
arrays and lists, and for the mapping that allows duplicates in a
collection.
</proposed>
