But I think this may be of interes to someone else. As I don't like being reprimanded, I have take some time off to think and research. I have succesfully crearted a new namespace for adding a property to the User class without disturbing the Cobalt supplied schemata. The design is so elegant for its simplicity. Adding schemata is a matter of adding your own directory hyerachy under /usr/sausalito/schemas and then, in there, writing the proper ,schema files with the XML definitions for typedefs, and classes. Here is mine that creates a new type: userType, and the a new namespace for the user class with a new property: userType. <typedef name="userType" type="re" data="^(U0|U1|U2|U3)$"/> <class name="User" namespace="SES" version="1.0"> <property name="userType" type="userType" readacl="ruleSelf" /> </class> Then just /etc/rc.d/init.d/cced.init reload and Bob's your uncle, just ask CCE for the new property under the proper namespace, SES in my example. Have a nice weekend.
