Description Svata Dedic 2002-02-25 18:18:54 UTC

I was trying to get enumeration's labels; the only way I've discovered is to get
the metaclass (instanceof EnumerationType) and access its "labels" attribute.
For MOF enumerations (VisibilityKind, ScopeKind, ...) the returned collection
contained only the first label - so VisibilityKind reported "public_vis" as its
only member.

OK, not all clients are blocked by this :-)

Svata, this is only the case during the boot sequence and it is done
like this intentionally. The MDR reads only parts of MOF to bootstrap
using BootReader and then its read the complete MOF using the standard
XMI reader and the bootMOF (incomplete MOF) is deleted. When you are
trying to patch the MDR core and touching the MDR data before the boot
sequence is finished, you need to keep this in mind.
