Project
Task Page: Making Axon Detect One-to-many linkage creation
Status: Completed
Current Developers: MH, MPS
Current "inflight" dev location:
/branches/private_MH_20070509_axonwarnings
Start Date: 09 May 2007
End Date: 5 Aug 2007
Date this page last updated: 5 Aug 2007
Estimated effort so far: 0.5 days
Description
Axon cannot handle one-to-many linkages - where a postbox is wired to
more than one destination. However, when creating linkages, Axon
currently makes no attempt to detect this and flag the error.
Getting Axon to alert the developer/user that this has happened will aid
debugging and development.
This section is largely about WHO has influenced this task to do
WHAT, and where possible WHY. It is also about WHO to contact with
regard to this task to influence what's going on.
Task Sponsor: MH
Task Owner: MH, MPS
Developers involved: MH (development), MPS (merge)
Users: MH, MPS
Interested third parties: MH, MS, Patrick (SoC 2007)
Requirements
- MUST flag to the developer or user when the problem occurs

Discussion
To my mind this could be deemed a bugfix. It is certainly not really
a tangible API or feature-set change.
I've added an appropriately named exception that is thrown if the
problem occurs.
