For more information on how WebWorks implemented the widget config.xml spec, and the additions to it we made with the rim: namespace, please see:
http://developer.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/ww_developing/working_w ith_config_xml_file_1866970_11.html I would certainly support a single config file to rule them all with platform specific artifacts created at build time. ;) As you can see from our implementation, we tried to be true to the config spec, and only added to it. That said, at this point, we are really only tied to it from a compatibility perspective for our existing devs. As Laurent mentioned, we don't really have a stake in trying to promote the spec. -- Ken Wallis Product Manager BlackBerry WebWorks Research In Motion (905) 629-4746 x14369 -----Original Message----- From: Filip Maj <f...@adobe.com> Reply-To: <callback-dev@incubator.apache.org> Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:54:16 -0800 To: "callback-dev@incubator.apache.org" <callback-dev@incubator.apache.org> Subject: Re: Consistent implementation of the whitelist >On 12-01-31 1:46 PM, "Shazron" <shaz...@gmail.com> wrote: > >>>* for most platforms, config.xml does not map to a single file.
