However, this would exclude people who use templates to generate the XML
(I use PHPTAL, for example). Of course, if the compilation could be
on-the-fly... Best would be an XSLT transformation, because it is
language-neutral.
Talking of QxBuilder / QxCompiler, one problem with the current
implementation is that QxBuilder has to provide for all the exeptions to
the rule that children are bound to parent widgets with the add() method
- for example in the QxCombobox, where you have to use
widget.getList().add(child). This leads to a ugly long list of if() ...
else if() statements and is hard to maintain -- each time a new widget
is added, you have to adapt the QxBuilder class.
It seems to me to make more sense if this would be handled at the widget
level, and QxBuilder should only provide a generic way of adding
children. I propose to add a addGenericChild() method to the QxWidget
prototype which defaults to add() but can be overridden by the specific
widget to check for special cases. QxComboBox, for example, can then
check the Prototype of the child, and add QxListItems to the list,
QxTabpane can check whether it adds a tab to the tabpane or a page to
the page pane.
What do you guys think?

That would be great!
Most of the qx code of my (yet to be developed) application is static
and should be fine when the generated javascript is included.
BTW: when can we expect the (alpha) of QxBuilder for the renderer branch?
Thank you for all that work!

Hi All,
Bindows, our commercial competitor has announced a new compiler
(http://bindows.net/news/#BindowsCompiler), which compiles xml widget
trees to real javascript code, so that the bindows user can integrate
this "compiled code" instead of the xml. This should accelarate the
bindows application as the developers say.
I think this would also be a great idea for our QxBuilder. Then the
current performance impact, when using QxBuilder instead of 'real'
code, will be removed. What do you think?
Regards,
Sebastian
