Re: [abbot-users] component definition in separate xml file

Hello Timothy,
I cannot understand your answer very clearly, could you give me a script example based on the script of Lorenz?
Thanks and best regards,
Hung
----------------------------------
It probably wouldn't be that hard to do. There's already support for
"including" another script, you'd just have to change the logic to
load in component references instead of ignoring them. The next step
would be to save references in a dedicated, included file instead of
the "current" script; that would be a little more work, but really not
that complicated once you defined the desired behavior (components.xml
could be the standard name for an included references script; if
there's a script step referencing it, then new crefs (or existing
ones) would be saved there instead of the current script).
To avoid changing current behavior, you'd probably want to only
include the refs if some system property is set
("abbot.external_crefs=true" or some such).
