Record / DataClass.getAttributes() safe to use?

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I'm writing a SortNormalizer that depends on the fields a Record has.

Is it safe to use Record.getAttributes() (or DataClass.getAttributes()) here?

It is in the 4.1p/5.0p Javadoc, but without text.

Thank you and best regards,
Blama

We'd recommend that rather than using this method, you iterate through the DataSource fields. This will avoid confusion with internal variables (such as selected state, etc) getting picked up.
