Hi,

I'd like to change the signatures DAB.getProperty() methods. Right now they are:

String getProperty(String documentName, String className, int objectNumber, String propertyName) throws Exception; String getProperty(String documentName, String className, String propertyName) throws Exception; String getProperty(String documentName, String propertyName) throws Exception;

I'd like to change them to:

Object getProperty(String documentName, String className, int objectNumber, String propertyName); Object getProperty(String documentName, String className, String propertyName); Object getProperty(String documentName, String propertyName);

I have no idea why they currently return Strings and not Objects and why they are declared to throw an exception when they catch all exceptions and instead return null when an error occurs... What types of objects can these methods return, besides String?

Lists, numbers (float, int, long, etc), String, etc

+1 Thanks, Marius

I need this change to be able to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4044 (Add support for looking for configuration parameters in XWikiPreferences, WebPreferences and the User Profile)

Here's my +1

Thanks -Vincent
