Key should have getKind() not getKindClassName() if possible #14

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Key used to have a getKind(), but that was changed to
getKindClassName() for GWT serialization purposes. I'd like that try
and change that back, if I can work out how to still get it to work
with serialization. Using Kind instead of KindClassName seems more
orthogonal to the datastore Key's class.

This is not easily implemented, because Class is not GWT-serializable, and you 
can't
call Class.forName() on the client side.

It might be possible to use a GWT generator, if you could detect all the 
possible
entities in use, but that can't be done reliably.
