Hi, I wonder about this,

If one creates an Arcehtype in Memory, and writes it out to an ADL-file. (This possible in the Java-implementation using ADLOutputter),
and then read it back, into memory, if one has the same Archetype in memory?

I have this in memory

`org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.CComplexObject@178aae1`
`[`
`attributes=[org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.CMultipleAttribute@45378f`
`[`
`cardinality=org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.Cardinality@2f1e75`
`logger=org.apache.log4j.Logger@15b0e2c`
`rmAttributeName=value`
`existence=REQUIRED`
`children=`
`org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.ArchetypeSlot@5e7020`
`[`
`includes=`
`[`
`REPC_MT000001NL.Performer2`
`]`
`excludes=<null>`
`rmTypeName=performer`
`occurrences=org.openehr.rm.support.basic.Interval@58e2a1`
`[`
`lower=1,lowerInclusive=true,upper=1,upperInclusive=true`
`]`
`nodeID=at10076`
`anyAllowed=false`
`path=/[at00001]/Content[at10001]/items[at10076]/`
`]`
`invariants=<null>`
`logger=org.apache.log4j.Logger@848ecc`
`rmTypeName=ELEMENT`
`occurrences=<null>`
`nodeID=at10075`
`anyAllowed=false`
`path=/[at00001]/Content[at10001]/items[at10075]/`
`]`
`]`

When I write this to ADL, using ADLOutputter, I get this:

`ELEMENT[at10075] matches {`
`value cardinality matches {1..1; unordered} matches {`
`}`
`}`

And when I read this adl-file in memory again, I get this

`org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.CComplexObject@6833f2`
`[`
`attributes=`
`[`
`org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.CMultipleAttribute@12a73d9`
`[`
`cardinality=org.openehr.am.archetype.constraintmodel.Cardinality@1568654`
`logger=org.apache.log4j.Logger@9aba32`
`rmAttributeName=value`
`existence=REQUIRED`
`children=[]`
`anyAllowed=false`
`path=/[at00001]/content[at10001]/items[at10075]/.value`
`]`
`]`
`invariants=<null>`
`logger=org.apache.log4j.Logger@1e152f4`
`rmTypeName=ELEMENT`
`occurrences=<null>`
`nodeID=at10075`
`anyAllowed=false`
`path=/[at00001]/content[at10001]/items[at10075]/`
`]`

I am still using 0.95, for the coming weeks I will be using that.

It seems to me that it is erroneous, or do I make an error?
Has this behaviour changed in latter versions (1.0.1)?

Do not pay attention to the "includes"-lines, the contents is not important

Thanks
Bert

Hi Bert,

It seems to be a bug\. The ADL\-AOM round trip for ArchetypeSlot has not been used very much since the RM object creation through archetype slot is not supported currently\. It will be implemented soon on the latest version\. Try to avoid using archetype slot with your current project and use it with later version of the java implementation when it&#39;s supported\.

Regards,
Rong

Oeps\.\.\.\.

This is Dutch for &quot;Oops&quot;
