[mapserver-dev] MS RFC 88: Saving MapServer Objects to Strings - Call For Vote

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

There is a method called updateFromString() to go the other way. I'd be fine with convertToString() or something like that. They should kind of mirror each other.

toString
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString())

is a predefined method name on all Java objects and while it is common to override it and supply a custom implementation I think mapscript
should leave this last option to the user rather than take it for itself.
I suggest the method names is changed to: toMapFileString
before the RFC is approved
