What does ListingState Found means? #23

Closed shekhargulati closed 12 years ago

shekhargulati commented 12 years ago

Right now user has to specify ListingState while creating LiberecoListing which is not correct. As this should be handled from within application. I am clear with other three values for ListingState -- NEW, LISTED, DEAD. Can any one of you explain what Found means with respect to our application?

I think what Roger tried to capture with this state is an inconsistency between the Libereco database and what exists in a marketplace. It's a way to denote that an item was found on a marketplace (eg when the Libereco middleware queried all items listed) but it doesn't exist as a listing on the Libereco side. He included this as a placeholder.

It will probably require more thought to decide how we should handle inconsistencies between the Libereco middleware and marketplaces. For example, what will happen when the user logs in to ebay and deletes an item without updating the Libereco application? Perhaps this is something to discuss at our next call.
