categories.getCategoriesWithScheme(String) behaviour

[Alistair Miles <al...@googlemail.com>]

Hi folks,

I just tried to use the getCategoriesWithScheme(String) method on the
Categories interface in Abdera 1.1.1. I have a collection like:

<app:collection>
    <atom:title type="text">Projects</atom:title>
    <atom:summary type="text">All projects.</atom:summary>
    <app:accept>application/atom+xml;type=entry</app:accept>
    <app:categories scheme="http://purl.org/net/datarepo/type/" fixed="yes">
        <atom:category term="http://purl.org/net/datarepo/type/Project" label="Project"/>
    </app:categories>
</app:collection>

I called getCategoriesWithScheme("http://purl.org/net/datarepo/type/")
expecting to get the "Project" category, but got none. The Abdera javadoc
claims that "child categories that do not have a scheme attribute inherit
the scheme attribute of the parent" however I believe that this is not
implemented in Abdera 1.1.1 and only categories with an explicit @scheme
attribute will match.

Also, there are both getCategories(String scheme) and
getCategoriesWithScheme(String scheme) on the Categories interface, it's not
clear how these are different, and looking at FOMCategories [1] one does call
the other, although the latter makes a copy whereas the former doesn't. All
a bit confusing.

Cheers,

Alistair
