[Helma-dev] HopObject.getByID

[Jürg Lehni]

I think this function could be very usefull.

 From the documentation:

 > HopObject.get(Number)
 > HopObject.get(String)
 >
 > The type of the result depends on the type of the submitted argument: 
a number will retrieve the subnode of the HopObject at the 
corresponding index position, a string the corresponding property of 
the HopObject.
 > Finally, a number as string retrieves the subnode with the 
corresponding Hop ID.

For collections with accessname defined, HopObject.get(String) returns 
the object with that accessname. There's no way to get the the object 
with an ID because the ID as String is interpreted as accessname. In 
this case I have to create collections like 'someobjectsByID' which are 
identical with 'someobjects' but just don't define accessname. for this 
case, it would be much easier to just use someobjects.getByID().

So +1 for implementing this little function.
