Permit WTKX namespace declarations to declare more than one in-scope package
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-560
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wtk-wtkx
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Michael Allman
Fix For: 1.5
The attached patch allows this:
<Frame xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk,my.custom.component.package"
xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx";>
<content>
<BoxPane/>
<MyCustomComponent/>
</content>
</Frame>
The obvious benefit of this patch is to (almost) eliminate the need for
alternate namespace prefixes for other packages. If a type name exists in more
than one package, the system throws a SerializationException complaining that
the type name is ambiguous.
To make an analogy, the way things currently are would be like restricting
imports in a Java source file to a single package. Any type from another
package would have to be qualified. This patch allows the Pivot developer to
bring multiple packages into the default (or other) XML namespace. This is a
huuuuuge time (and finger) saver when working with custom components.
Cheers.
