An XML structure is *definitely* preferable; I've written both yacc-based and recursive descent parsers before, and it's waaaay overkill for this project :-)
I'm starting to get a little worried about feature creep, so I have a proposal: Lets address the issue of how to make views global in a subsequent 2.1 release. In the mean time, I'll make the name attribute default to the ref so that <view ref="loginRequired"/> can be used, which is a little shorter. I will also add the ability to specify an XSL for transforming the configuration before load. I'll get these features implemented RSN and launch another beta. When the manual is complete(ish), and there are no obvious outstanding bugs, we'll do the formal 2.0 release. Everything else gets slated for 2.1. Sound good? (this doesn't mean that the discussion should stop :-) Jeff Schnitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Gerald de Jong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 12:22 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Mav-user] global views > > On Thursday 14 February 2002 22:21, Gerald de Jong wrote: > > would you call it sloppy if we changed the word "cascading" into > > "inheritance"? virtually the same thing happens in your java code, so > why > > not in the maverick.xml command hierarchy? > > btw, another way to represent an inheritance hierarchy in maverick.xml > would > be to use something resembling Ant's build.xml with its dependencies > (rather > than nesting the tags). with Ant you say depends="OtherTask", whereas in > Java we would say "extends OtherClass", so maybe.. > > <maverick> > <class name="root"> > <view.../> > <view.../> > </class> > <class name="secure" extends="root"> > <view.../> > <command> > <view.../> > <view.../> > </command> > <command../> > </class> > </maverick> > > -- > Beautiful Code BV > Rotterdam, The Netherlands > http://www.beautifulcode.nl > > _______________________________________________ > Mav-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mav-user _______________________________________________ Mav-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mav-user
