That would be the best possible solution!  I'll give it a try.  Thanks

Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Using multiple mapping files


Does being able to include one mapping file from another address this?

I have done the following.


<!DOCTYPE databases PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//EN"
                           "http://castor.exolab.org/mapping.dtd";>
<mapping>
    <include href="mapping_cookietime.xml"/>
    <include href="mapping_cookieproject.xml"/>
    <include href="mapping_cookieresources.xml"/>
    <include href="mapping_cookiecontacts.xml"/>
</mapping>
