Patrik Sagelius updated FELIX-2730:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: site.patch

I have attached a patch that will do just the described in this improvement.

> One of the larger areas of usage with UPnP is to expose a DMS. There are also 
> many consumers of DMS devices, e.g. TVs. Many of the new TVs coming to the 
> market are branded "DLNA compatible". This means they will require DMS 
> devices to have the XML tag shown below in the device description:
> <dlna:X_DLNADOC 
> xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:device-1-0">DMS-1.00</dlna:X_DLNADOC>
> This is described in paragraph 7.2.10 in the document named "DLNA Networked 
> Device Interoperability Guidelines". This is just one of many DLNA specific 
> tags. However, it seems that a great number of DMR devices (consumers of DMS 
> devices, e.g. TVs) expects this tag and only shows the DMS as a valid DMS if 
> it is included.
> I know this has nothing to do with UPnP since it is a DLNA specific tag, but 
> it increases the usability of the UPnP stack and the number of usecases 
> supported a great deal! Moreover, there is no way to set this XML tag in the 
> device description using the OSGi UPnP API as it is currently specified.
> What is needed is that the developer needs some way of controlling the 
> content of the device description to include this tag.
> So when creating the device the programmer supplies properties to control 
> various things, such as name and description. It would be good to supply a 
> property called "X_DLNADOC" with the value of the tag, e.g. DMS-1.00. So the 
> code to create a DLNA supported device would look like:
> public class DmsDevice implements UPnPDevice {
>     private Dictionary dictionary = new Hashtable();
>     public DmsDevice() {
>         dictionary.put(UPnPDevice.FRIENDLY_NAME, "My Name");
>         dictionary.put("X_DLNADOC", "DMS-1.00");
>         ....
>     }
>     public Dictionary getDescriptions(String locale) {
>         return this.dictionary;
>     }
>     ....
> }
> This should result in an XML like:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
> <root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0">
>    <specVersion>
>       <major>1</major>
>       <minor>0</minor>
>    </specVersion>
>    <URLBase>http://<myip>:<myport></URLBase>
>    <device>
>       <deviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1</deviceType>
>       <dlna:X_DLNADOC 
> xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:device-1-0">DMS-1.00</dlna:X_DLNADOC>
>       <friendlyName>My Name</friendlyName>
>       ........
> </root>
