                 Key: XAP-9
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XAP-9
             Project: XAP
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: HTML
            Reporter: Turyn, Michael


Currently, to use an MCO declared in a XAL file, one must include the source 
for it in the HTML defining the page, e.g. for

.xal file
======
        <mco:mco 
                xmlns:mco="http://www.openxal.org/mco"; 
                id="handler" 
                src="aHandlerObject"
        />
we need to have 

.html file
=======
    <script language="JavaScript" 
src="uriToSomeFileWhere_aHandlerObject_isDefined.js"> </script>

---the "src" would more accurately be a "bean" or "object" attribute, since it 
doesn't refer to a source file, but to a constructor defined ...somewhere.  
Typically, this is in a <script/> tag in the html for the page, tying the page 
to a particular XAL and vice versa.

Just as bridge classes should load their peer classes, relieving the page 
designer of knowing about the widgets, mco's under JS should be able to have a 
URI which can be used to load the object needed.

(Perhaps we should keep the freedom for people who really want to to load from 
the page---that allows locally-defined versions of handlers....)
