FS' API Incompatibility Wishlist

From Apache OpenOffice Wiki

That's just my personal list of UNO APIs I would like to change incompatibly, if we are ever allowed to. Note there's much more than this. I just can't remember at the moment, but when working with API, I regularily encounter things which now will hopefully appear here over time.

  • XRowSetSupplier: setRowSet should be allowed to throw a NoSupportException
  • There should be an interface merging XRow and XResultSet. Both are nearly always used together, and having to work with two interfaces, one for navigating through the result set, and one for querying the actual values, sucks.
  • XContent should have direct access to selected properties. Asking for a given property by executing a command named getPropertyValues, which returns a XRow/XResultSet, through which you need to navigate, is absolutely ridiculous.
