So, after digging into this some more, I begin to see what you mean. If you
don't use "inline='true'" on your "bxml:include" then there is no way
(directly) to get access to the included file's serializer, and thus its
namespace. If you use "inline" (of course) then you have the possibility of
name collisions.
One possible solution to this is to use a custom subclass of BXMLSerializer
(that you would have to register using
BXMLSerializer.getMimeTypes().put("bxml", your new Serializer class)) that
would do something different with the namespace map. The difficulty would be
associating the namespace of the included file with the main file's namespace,
since there is no connection (currently).
It definitely does seem like we *should* be able to deal with this situation
more gracefully, but I'm at somewhat of a loss right now what to suggest.
Perhaps we could make a change, and pass some more information to an "include"d
serializer that would tell it to put its variables into the parent's namespace
as something like the bxml:id of the include element followed by ":" and the
id. Then for multiple levels of nesting you would get "a:b:c", and etc. How
that would work with the variable bindings, (i.e., using
"serializer.bind(...)") I don't know.
Anyone else have thoughts? *Perhaps* there is some way, as Karel is
suggesting, of using namespace binding, but I'm not seeing that either. Of
course, making a Pivot change like this isn't likely to help with your deadline.
So, I guess my best suggestion at this point is to make wise choices about how
you split up your BXML files, and how the "include" structure works, so that
you don't have to do cross-file referencing. And/or make judicious use of
"inline='true'" to put the included variables into the main file's namespace.
Anybody else see something I'm not seeing?
Thanks,
~Roger

Hi Mark,
I assume you've read through the BXML Primer here:
http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/bxml-primer.html It describes how namespaces
work and the "bxml:include" semantics (including the "inline" attribute). But,
I think that the default behavior of making a separate namespace for each
included BXML file would satisfy your requirements, unless I don't understand
what you're trying to do.
Let us know,
~Roger

Hi Karel,
Thanks for the response, seemed like what I needed, but I cant seem to get it
too work...
Bit of a deadline on this, later I will try compiling your code and check it
works... I must be missing something...
regards,
Mark.
