Of course. One part of the patch makes sure that the schema accepts map:parameter's for map:select elements, which is obviously required. The more controversial part of the patch is that it removes all elements that could normally occur inside a map:action declaration and replaces that with allowing any content inside map:action. This is required, simply because inside a map:action you can put additional configuration information, but the exact contents depends on the implementation of the action (and since users can implement their own actions it's impossible to foresee what that could be). Note that this should actually be the case for all component declarations (map:generator, map:serializer, etc). A quick look at the schema reveals that this is e.g. the case for map:selector but not for map:generator and others, so there are still other errors there. I just stumbled across the map:action case because I needed some custom configuration there for forrest which caused the validation to fail. The nice thing about relax ng however is that we could add extra validation rules for specific component implementations (ideally all the ones that are shipped with cocoon), depending on the value of the "src" attribute. So if you agree with the above I could further optimize the schema so that: - it allows any element (and any attribute) on the component declaration elements (thus on map:generator, map:transformer, map:reader, map:serializer, map:matcher, map:selector and map:action) - and add an example of how the schema of the configuration of a specific component implementation can be defined Hopefully I have not caused more confusion now :-) > > Bruno Dumon wrote: > > attached you'll find a patch for the sitemapv05.rng grammar fixing the > > following: > > - map:select should be able to have map:parameter's > > - map:action component declaration should allow any xml as content > > -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
