Issue 3170: AbstractResource association count (ts-rtf)
Source: Fujitsu (Mr. Stephen McConnell, stephen.mcconnell(at)au.fujitsu.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The AbstractResource interface contains an operation called "expand" which
enables client applications to access relationships between resources.
Invocation of expand returns a sequence of iterator instances representing
the extent of a set of relationships, however, the iterator interface does
not expose the size of the extent. This restricts the ability of interactive
client applications dealing with navigation and graphic presentation of
relationship extents.

not expose the size of the extent. This restricts the ability of

client applications dealing with navigation and graphic presentation
of
relationship extents.
