Re: [Flightgear-devel] XML include (and value overriding) question
For the sake of completeness, there is also the xml parameterization system often used for panel/instrument configuations. However, the down side of that is that it can lead to some crazy/convoluted path names that can be brittle and are highly dependent on nesting levels -- a functional but unwieldy extension to the property system. :-) Curt.

[Flightgear-devel] XML include (and value overriding) question
I have a question about the Flightgear xml config system and doing includes. This is an arbitrary example, but let's say I have an xml config file called main.xml: PropertyList config weight-and-balance include=passengers.xml / /config /PropertyList The passenger.xml file might look like the following: PropertyList passenger1-kg60/passenger1-kg passenger2-kg60/passenger2-kg passenger2-kg60/passenger2-kg passenger2-kg60/passenger2-kg /PropertyList In the property tree after this loads I will have: /config/weight-and-balance/passenger1-kg = 60 /config/weight-and-balance/passenger2-kg = 60 /config/weight-and-balance/passenger3-kg = 60 /config/weight-and-balance/passenger4-kg = 60 Now this is an arbitrary example, but what I want to do in my main.xml is override some of the default values in passenger.xml. Just imagine I am including a much more complicated config file with a lot of standard values, but maybe I want to override a tcp port, or set a enable/disable flag and do that from the main.xml level, and not touch the included file. This included file may get included on a number of systems and I may want to set specific values for each installation, rather than create a myriad of slightly different copies of a bunch of different included files. So for example, on some flight maybe I only have 3 passengers. I weigh them and they are 65 kg, 55 kg, and 58 kg (and the 4th would then be 0 kg.) I don't want to touch the passenger.xml file, but I want to override the default values in my main.xml file after (before?) including the file. Is there a way to include a sub xml file, but override some of the default values that are set in the included xml file?
