First member entity reference
Hi Dev,
I’ve been using the new attributes in DynamicCluster that reference the first member entity and sets a boolean attribute (cluster.first) on each group member to indicate if that is the first member of the cluster. I think it would be more useful to add an additional attribute that references the first node to the other non-first members (non-first has attribute of type Entity that references the first member). Is that feasible? Bad or good design?
Currently to access the first node attributes I’m doing this:
entity.getAttribute(DynamicCluster.CLUSTER).getAttribute(DynamicCluster.FIRST).getAttribute(MY_ATTRIBUTE);
where if we include the first entity reference it would look something like this
entity.getAttribute(DynamicCluster.FIRST).getAttribute(MY_ATTRIBUTE);
Regards

Zaid,
Yes, there's no reason that the FIRST entity attribute couldn't be set
on the cluster children as well. It would save a level of indirection,
and we can always keep the atrribute on the cluster as well. If nobody
objects, I'll change it.
Andrew.
