Especially when a command object is expecting multiple such entities, we can see a number of Response classes be introduced to the Command class like DeployVMCmd, a new developer may wonder what are those Response classes are to do with one command. And one more confusing part in DeployVMCmd, I can see some entity references are done through Response classes, while the special ipToNetworkList parameter is trying to directly refer to the entities (by the way, populating value of ipToNetworkList is actually done by another helper method in DeployVMCmd class). Is this in this way for an implementation purpose? -Kelven > >-Mice > >2013/1/28 Kelven Yang <kelven.y...@citrix.com>: >> I have a question about a change in @Parameter at API layer, in regards >>to >> entityType, does anyone know the reason behind why it has to go through >> with some Response class which in turn declares links to the entity >>class >> via @EntityReference annotation? >> >> And in DeployVMCmd as an example, there is also another special field >> (ipToNetworkList) declares entity reference directly, could someone >> clarify it? >> >> @ACL(checkKeyAccess=true) >> @Parameter(name = ApiConstants.IP_NETWORK_LIST, type = >> CommandType.MAP, entityType={Network.class, IpAddress.class}, >> description = "ip to network mapping.
