[mapguide-internals] MapGuide RFC 53 Review

[Steve Dang]

I have discussed with our MapGuide Development team about an alternative way to format/encode a comma delimited string.

Here is our proposal: The class name will be enclosed by double quotes if it contains any comma, and any double quote inside this class name will be double quoted.

For example, for the following list of class names:

Class1,
Class2
Class3"
",Class4

The comma delimited string of these class names will look like:

"Class1,",Class2,Class3",""",Class4"

Comments/suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve.

Comma or tab was one of my choices I had in mind but unfortunately they are not reserved characters for class names because FDO separates schema and class name by ":", and class and property name by ".".

Thanks,
Steve.

Is there a reason for using a period and not a comma to seperate class names?

CLASSNAMES=Class1.Class2.Class3
  vs
CLASSNAMES=Class1,Class2,Class3
