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.
Comment 1 Martin Matula 2002-07-18 13:28:43 UTC 
CreationFailedException is thrown when user attemps to create a new
extent with a duplicate name.
