re-use of xml

[Carlsbad Cubes mailing list]

Hi,

I am wondering how an xml file(a panel with standard
buttons like "OK", "Cancel", and "Apply") can be
reused; in a bigger application there are some button
panels/parts that repeat constantly.

So, my question is:

Instead of coding the same button panels in every xml
file they occur, could we write this repeating stuff
in a separate xml file and then insert it in all the
other xml that needs the given button panels with
statements like "#import myButtonPanel.xml"? Does it
conflict with the id map if we have many xml files
referring to our button panel?  

Thanks in advance,

Emil

Emil,

Take a look at example 10 on the sample page here:

http://www.swixml.org/samples/

With the include attribute, you can either include a whole xml document or just a sub-hierarchy using an xpointer like notation

 <panel id="pnl_footer" constraints="BorderLayout.SOUTH" include="xml/fragments.xml#PNL_OK_CANCEL"/>

This panel tag for instance would include the content of a tag with the id 'PNL_OK_CANCEL' to be found in the 'fragments.xml' document.

Emil,

the id's do not conflict, as long as you do'nt use the same
id in the including and included file. It is ok to have several
panels rendered with a button id="common.ok"
