XTCE12 — Align ArgumentType and ParameterType construction

Description Kevin Rice 2007-10-22 21:52:34 BST
In the schema, the parameter/arguments do not share a common root class until
NameDescriptionType. All the types except for Time/Array & aggregate are
BaseDataTypes. The Time types are BaseTimeDataTypes and array/aggregate just
have nameDescription as the root. It would be better if they shared a common
"lower down" class/type that would be more indicative of what these really are
instead in nameDescription which is shared by many schema types in XTCE. It
effects the code – instead having say List<CommonBaseDataType> in Java. One
gets List<NameDescriptionType> – which works but isn't as type safe - it's too
generic.

This is duplicated from XTCE12-92

Several issue resolutions deal with refactoring Argument type definitions. The specific topic of this issue is already covered. The types now have a common base type.
