Description _ briansmith 2002-07-17 08:47:49 UTC

The JavaDoc is not clear about what happens when
MDRepository.createExtent is invoked to create
extents that conflict with the names of existing
extents.

I suggest that MDR should consider this an error
and throw an Exception. An alternative would be to
replace the existing extents.

CreationFailedException is thrown when user attemps to create a new
extent with a duplicate name.
