inconistent use of ids and names to retrieve objects ---------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-1986 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-1986 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Java API Reporter: Matt Wringe Assignee: Chris Laprun The api is using inconsistent values to retrieve objects. Sometimes it will require using an Id to retrieve an object, sometimes it will require passing a string value to retrieve the object. This especially gets confusing since many of the ids only require a single string to create them anyways. Since the api is suppose to be Id centric, retrieval of all objects should be done using ids. Examples using strings instead of ids: - ContentRegistry with categories - Category with ManagedContent
