Did you know that the namespaces for Framework and Contrib overlap? I'm writing some code to detect when namespaces (based on the location of the spec file) overlap and as a lark I added a test case that checks if Framework and Contrib clash. They do.
Of course Framework is "special" and you couldn't exploit the overlap like this: @framework:contrib/components/Choose and Contrib.library is a package below Framework. You can't refer to a framework component from contrib unless this was legal: @contrib:../form/Button [General Q] illegal in classpath? - what about in the context? So I guess it's no big deal. But an interesting example of the boundary crossing stuff I've been blathering about lately. Note though that user libraries do not have the special status of Framework and thus no protection from strange behaviour based on name choice. ahh, but the following are both legal even though the inspector library is 'private' to Contrib. @contrib:inspector/DumpObject @contrib:DumpObject In that case no immedaite ill effects would be observed as both libraries refer to the same .jwc file and the meta's for 'org.apache.tapestry.component-class-packages' are the same in both Contrib.libary and Inspector.library. ie: <meta key="org.apache.tapestry.component-class-packages" value="org.apache.tapestry.contrib.components"/> I think this is a very unusual case though as I've not seen two libraries declare the same component this way. These are also legal and serve only to expose components/pages in Inspector that are not for public use: @contrib:inspector/ShowProperties @contrib:inspector/ShowDescription @contrib:inspector/ShowEngine <span jwcid="@PageLink" page="contrib:inspector/Inspector"/> etc. Geoff -- The Spindle guy. http://spindle.sf.net Get help with Spindle: http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/spindle-user Blog: http://jroller.com/page/glongman Feature Updates: http://spindle.sf.net/updates --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
