Hello everybody.
I was wondering if it might be possible to extend the <description> tag of the
current spring-XML language for further versions.
In my usecase we need to define several services (aka routes, see
RouteContextRef et al.) and want to supply them with additional
meta-information like a version number.
To be able to parse that information it would be helpful if the description tag
could contain other generic key-value pairs, like
<description>
<string name="version">1.2a</version>
A generic description of one of the XML language elements
</description>
Currently the description tag only supports String content.
Of course we could do our own proprietary data format and parse that, but it
would be nice to leverage what is there already and extend on that
I checked the only documentation but found as good as no reference to the
description element. I have no idea where it us used or if it is used at all. I
can't really judge how much effort this extension would require.
Best regards,
Max
