It is difficult to use any sort of DTD validation or tag hints because my line number have a bunch of ? ? ? whenever I'm forced to use constructor-arg over property (which happens sometimes because some services are responsible to load up some xml on init and available immediately). I guess I'm too lazy/busy to copy the Spring DTD and make the one change.
Secondly, I was thinking about optional server side xml validation with xmlValidate() (and MX7). I know this was an issue of debate during the 1.1.0 release of Mach-II -- IMHO I've found this useful. Just throwing ideas out. .Peter -- Peter J.
