no comment Change Log: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @@ -32,3 +32,7 @@ DanielFeist I agree with your comments but still believe a simple asXML() method which returns the string representation of the !HiveMind element is not much to ask and very useful for people choosing to deal with this elements directly rather than using <conversion> or <rules> element in the module descriptor. Nearly all XML libaries such as dom4j, jdom etc have methods for returning a string representation of the element. + +AlbertKwong + +The org.apache.avalon.configuration package provides a Configuration object that's pretty easy to use. The HiveMind Element object can be enhanced to provide functions similar to the avalon package, such as getAttributeAsInteger (String name, int defaultValue). It also aids the transition from Avalon to HiveMind. I would volunteer to work on it if necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
