I had this same problem. Doug might want to error a validation error when
this happens.
It's perfectly reasonable to have no <object> tags - if you are just
managing simple tables with no relationships (I have some applications
like that). Reactor behaves like most frameworks that rely on XML: it
looks for tags that match what it wants using xmlSearch(), e.g.,
"/reactor/objects/object", and if it doesn't find anything, it is
perfectly happy.
XML validation is the *developer's* job - use an XML validation tool,
such as the XML Buddy plugin for Eclipse. Of course, you need a DTD
which we don't have yet...
I got XML Buddy to generate a DTD from the Blog sample app which I'm
pasting in here. This will need quite a bit of work to be fully usable
but I'm hoping some enterprising person here will volunteer to work on
the DTD for Doug!
