I have a number of P.Mapper (4.0.beta1) applications that have nearly  
identical search.xml files.  Each has a few <searchitem> definitions  
particular to the application as well as some <searchitem> definitions  
common to all the applications.  Rather than continue duplicating the  
those things in common for each individual search.xml file, I was  
hoping to include the common entries with an ENTITY reference.

Here is an example of the search.xml file I am trying to create:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE document [
         <!ENTITY commonsearch SYSTEM "/home/nsg/pmapper/ 
pmapper-4.0.beta1/config/common/search.xml">
]>
<searchlist version="1.0">

<searchitem name="township_range" description="PLS: Township/Range/ 
SEction">
     <layer type="postgis" name="sections">
        <field type="n" name="town" description="Township" size="3"  
wildcard="1" />
        <field type="n" name="rang" description="Range" size="2"  
wildcard="1" />
        <field type="n" name="sect" description="Section" size="2"  
wildcard="1" />
     </layer>
</searchitem>

&commonsearch;

</searchlist>


And here is an excerpt from the referenced file:


<searchitem name="county" description="County">
     <layer type="postgis" name="counties">
        <field type="s" name="cty_name" description="County Name" wildcard="2">
           <definition type="options" connectiontype="db" sort="asc"  
firstoption="-">
                <dsn 
encoding="LATIN1">pgsql://guest1:f33d...@localhost/minnesota</ 
dsn>
                <sql>SELECT DISTINCT cty_name,cty_name FROM  
boundary.jurisdiction_county_area ORDER by cty_name</sql>
           </definition>
        </field>
     </layer>
</searchitem>



None of the entries from the referenced file get included.  Has anyone  
else tried doing something similar, or is this ability not supported?

Thanks,
