Greetings, I am curious to find out whether people are reconfiguing their XML generated UI's at runtime. If not, what is benefit of having the UI generated from XML at runtime vs design time?
I have two counter examples, one is the static UI generation model of Netbeans and the other is a home grown system we have of almost a language in XML that defines screen widgets and their behavior when input realtime data from monitored hardware. Netbeans uses an XML file to generate a UI at design time. As you design your UI in the Netbeans visual designer, Netbeans creates an XML file representing your UI. This XML file is used to generate java code that instantiates your UI. For one project we have created a highly dynamic UI that is determined by our own XML definitions and realtime incoming data from monitored hardware. The XML tells the screen widgets how to behave on real time incoming data. Thanks in advance, David K
