Hi Keith --- Is this information going to be able to be read from the schema file? If the answer is no then I will work on a patch that lets the information to be in the schema file. The reason is that I would like to have all the information in the schema file so that the data definition is self contained. If I decide to move to a different source generator this would enable a conversion to that new source generator's appinfo format using XSLT. If I have a series of .properties files I get no such flexiblity.
If I came up with such a patch would it be rejected out of hand? >-----Original Message----- >From: Keith Visco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 2:37 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [castor-dev] defining superclass, and interfaces in xml >schema file. > > > >Hi Patrick, > >Please see: http://bugzilla.exolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=882 > >Arnaud has been working on the binding file for Castor which will give >you the features you need...such as specifying class names, specifying >interfaces and a superclass, etc. > >A single super class can already be specified using >castorbuilder.properties.
