Hi Ralf, I've created CASTOR-2042.
I've found one or two issue that are somewhat related, but not the same. E.g. CASTOR-1702, which could be solved by this feature. Tom On 7/6/07, Ralf Joachim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Tom, your idea to parameterize Handlers sound reasoable to me. Can you please search if there isn't an already existing issue for that. If there is none please create one and propose the changes to mapping there. This way we have a common place to discuss about the syntax and how the parameters can be passed to the handler. I'll respond to the gen.mapping problem at CASTOR-2041.
