RE: prop_domain() vs. getDomainClasses()

Hi Tim,

1: You should really raise Jena questions on the jena list which is:
  jena-dev@yahoogroups.com ; I think you need to register at yahoogroups.com
  first.

In brief, it's a known bug, that is difficult to fix, and is part of the
motivation for Jena2 which we are still working on (sorry everyone that it's
been taking a while).

See for example the thread around the message:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jena-dev/message/1557

In fact, one of my tasks for the next few days, is to try and fix this bug
in a pre-alpha experimental version of Jena2. [It was probably a few days a
few weeks ago which are still slipping :( ]
