Just a few comments re: xmlc capabilities... awesome discussion,
BTW...
1. xmlc and enhydra support auto-recompile if changes to the xml/html
page are detected. This is to support our customers who just want
to make changes to the GUI without requiring the involvement of the developer.
2. Lutris have announced xmlc support for imode/chtml, xhtml and voicexml
available in 6 weeks. This is done by adding those respective DOMs and
DOM packages to xmlc.
3. xmlc requires NO custom tags, because all the "links" to Java code are
provided using CSS IDs.
4. one other thing, and I'll admit my taglib ignorance/prejudice, (though
there's a pretty
good article on taglibs by Adam Chase in JDJ October 2000) is that the
xmlc mechanism encourages a standard approach to the designer/developer
boundary. I.e., the methodology for handling mocked up data and
identification
of dynamic elements is the same for everybody because this is a native
purpose of xmlc. Even though xmlc is turning out to be perfect for support
device (wired, wireless) independence, Lutris originally developed it purely
to solve the (then) ills of embedding Java in mark up languages.
