[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-520) add a name property to Component

["Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-520?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12876662#action_12876662 ] 

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-520:
----------------------------------

I don't agree that any relationship between "name" and WTKX ID should be implied or enforced (just as you cannot enforce a relationship between a Java variable name and the "name" property). That would require WTKXSerializer to know too much about the classes it serializes. 

Yes, this could be done via some sort of interface or annotation, but I think these two concepts should remain separate: WTKX ID = variable name, component "name" = property.

> Add a name property to Component
> a) A getter/setter
> b) A method to Container for Component getNamedComponent(String componentName)
> The name should default to an the wtkx:id if one is specified for that component or if the name is not specified, null. If a name is specified and no wtkx:id is specified , it should become the wtkx:id of that component. The name must be a valid java identifier, otherwise an serialization exception should be thrown. The name used in the component should be left and right whitespace trimmed.
