---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: GUMP-22
    Summary: XML objects return 'existence' for attributes, that don't exist
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Gump
 Components: 
             Python

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Adam Jack

    Created: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 7:55 AM

Description:
For the XML objects (that merge the metadata) the following:


   value = x1.y() or x2.y()

can set value to be None even if x2.y() yields a value. This is likely some bug in the attribute overrides implemented by these complex Python objects. 

Assuming this is fixable, there are *significant* risks of knock on bugs as a lot of workaround code exists. The fix must include unit tests, a lot of test runs, and cleaning up the workarounds.
