As was mentioned by Constantine, namespaces in XML address this
problem, without breaking the important notion of document validity.
On the subject of validation, is there any reason why it was decided
not to specify any attributes in the tags for the XML format?
The DTD in EJB1.1 serves to validate the hierarchy used in the
deployment descriptor, but not the content. I've been writing some XML
descriptor examples, and notice there is nothing in the DTD, comments
notwithstanding, to stop me specifying illegal values for any of the tags,
<transaction-type> and <reentrant> tags, for example.
Does anyone else on the list share these concerns? Is there any
technical justification for this particular design of the XML DTD? If
so, please let me know.
Cheers,
Malcolm
