wtk:include without specifying namespace results in wtk:id values being lost
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-79
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-79
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core-serialization
Reporter: Noel Grandin
Priority: Minor
just got bitten by an unexpected problem. I had 2 files like this:
first file:
<Window>
<wtkx:include "other.wtkx"/>
</Window>
other.wtkx:
<Border>
<TreeView wtkx:id="myid" />
</Border>
Now, when I load this, the identifier "myid" is not visible anywhere.
This is because I failed to specify a namespace for the included file.
This took me quite a while to work out, because my mental model of
include says that the default is that the included file is fully
visible, which should mean that the identifiers are visible from
getObjectByName().
I suggest that either
(a) if I include a file without a namespace, and I specify
identifiers, an error should be thrown
or
(b) if I include a file without a namespace, identifiers should be
visible from getObjectByName()
