Getting class of activity object through an aci

[Eduardo Martins]

Hi all, while developing services I find myself doing a lot of loops
searching for an ACI with an activity that is an instance of a
specific class, I think this is common in JAIN SLEE. The issue I see
is that we could improve this on specs, by providing a method to
retrieve the activity object class on the ActivityContextInterface
itself, which would result on not having to retrieve the Activity from
the resource adaptor just to check if it's what we are looking for.
Further improvements could be to retrieve the iterator of ACIs per
activity object class, like a retrieval of sip headers by name. what
do you think about this?

I have the same experience. One thing I do to avoid this is to use a  
private ACI attribute to identify the activity. SLEE 1.1 also helps  
here by allowing one to put an ACI in a CMP field - most useful!

Cheers,
David
