Hi, I finally got around to resprucing BlockInfo and decided to remove the <meta/> section. It wasn't being used and wasn't really that useful ;) It basically included a lot of meta information that was arbitrarily associated with Blocks supposedly to use in GUI configuraor but not really that useful.
However I added another section <block/> that replaced some of the functionality. Currently it looks like <block> <version>1.0</version> </block> However I have been thinking about allowing another sub-element <classname/> that gave classname of Block. However this is kinda redundent because the location of BlockInfo automatically specified classname of block. ie If a Blockinfo file is at "com/biz/blocks/Foo.xinfo" we automatically know that the classname of the block is com.biz.blocks.Foo. So my question is; What do you think - should we require this subelement or should we determine block classname based on location of BlockInfo ?? BTW: I have been tinkering with XML Schema support for configurations inside the <block/> element and may get a chance to implement it in the next few months (finally - yay!!). BTW2: This is all backwards compatible ... it just issues warnings if you don't specify new section and ignores the old section. -- Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | "Common sense is the collection of prejudices | | acquired by age 18.
