[opencms-dev] collectors and collector params

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi Sachin

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but resource names, as well as IDs, should be unique. I don't know exactly what will happen if you have two resource types with the same name, but I suspect that either:

1.) OpenCms will fail at startup, producing an error
OR
2.) The duplicate name problem is simply ignored, and every time a resource type is fetched by name, the first one encountered by the code logic is returned

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, you don't need to specify a resource type name as a collector parameter - the resource type ID can be used instead.

HTH,
Paul

Subject: [opencms-dev] collectors and collector params

Hello!

This is about content collectors in opencms. For the parameters on a collector, we need to specify a resource type name. So, one could specify something like "Article" or "Page" or whatever resource type one has on their site. for example, a parameter could look like "/sites/mysite/articles|Article|5" where the number 5 denotes number of results to return. My question is what happens if there is another resource type with the same name in another site that has a different resource type id?

I am trying to look into the source code to figure this out, but havent had much luck so far. Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Sachin
