Bart Molenkamp commented on COCOON-1238:
----------------------------------------

The patch looks good to me. If I look at the files that I have here, they don't 
look the same as those that I uploaded. I guess I uploaded the wrong files, 
sorry. Your patch looks pretty much to what I have here, most important is that 
the statement 'jxpc.getRelativeContext(jxpc.getPointer(this.xpath))' is gone, 
and is left to the custom binding (this was causing crashes at the time).

I do think that this patch breaks backward compatibility, I don't know if 
that's a big problem.

>      Project: Cocoon
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: Blocks: Forms
>     Versions: 2.1.5
>  Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
>     Reporter: Bart Molenkamp
>     Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Quenot

> CustomJXPathBindingBuilder.java.patch
>
> 2 improvements:
> 1. Custom bindings get a service manager when they implement Serviceable.
> 2. Relative JXPath context is not created. Instead, the current context, and 
> the
> xpath query are passed to the custom binding. This allows bindings to set 
> values
> for objects that are null (whereas a getRelativeContext() will throw an
> exception). Custom bindings now can do a
> context.createPathAndSetValue(getXpath(), ...) to set a value that was null
> before setting it.
