----
The current version of the DarwinCoreRecord does not allow multiple instances of darwincorerecord.

For example. if an archive is read into a vector, only the last record can be accessed and the others seem to be cleared.

Unless, I am missing something, or using this wrong? I would like to have access to all records in a file at once.

That is right. Its definitely lacking documentation.
The same instance if reused for performance reasons and if you want to keep them you would need to make a copy first.

We should improve this and add options to always get a new instance. Ill keep this issue as a feature request?

That would be great. I found that even making a copy does not allow multiple instances, for example it is not possible to create a vector of records. It appears that the record does not implement cloneable so I cannot copy it to another object without calling all methods.

Would love to see it as a feature, added to the Jar though please!

thats right. But you can use tools like beanutils to do the copy for you, for example: http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/api/org/apache/commons/beanutils/PropertyUtils.html

Of course it would be more convenient to not have to do this - should be added to the next release!]]>
