Pete wants to use nsprefixed attributes in a lot of places ;) However I have ended up rewriting SAXHandler to provide this functionality. It is really nice to split information between container and component. ie In quite a few of my apps there is information that is directly relevent to components and some that are directives to container to treat component in specific ways. Whether this is a desirable feature or not is yet to be seen. EJB descriptors separate out this information into multiple files or multiple sections in Config data. Other cases like Ant will integrate it into representation. If anything I think that namespaces on attributes is probably not a configuration concern but I haven't made up my mind fully yet ;) > > <target name="namespace-test"> > > <!-- ant and doc are built in namespaces --> > <echo ant:fail-on-error="true" message="Some random message"> > <doc:description> > Test case for aspects > </doc:description> > <ant:some-element some-attribute="blah"/> > </echo> > > <!-- load facility for blee: namespace --> > <facility namespace="blee"> > <noop/> > </facility> > > <echo blee:some-param="blah" message="Blee namespace test > successful!"/> > > </target> > > (Taken from jakarta-ant/proposal/myrmidon/src/make/sample.ant) > > But I don't follow ant-dev closely, and I've likely misunderstood > something.
