[FormProc-developer] XML Configuration file format

[Kerry T. <ke...@to...>]

Other projects that employ XML configuration files (Castor, Tomcat,
Poolman, etc.) use concise, simple tag names.  Wouldn't it be more
straightforward to read and maintain if 'formproc:'  was removed from
the tags in the formproc.xml and example-form.xml files?

For example:

----------

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<formproc xmlns:formproc="http://www.formproc.org/">

   <validator-map type="script"
classname="org.formproc.validation.ScriptFormValidator">
      <property name="script-root"
value="g:\osscvs\formproc\formproc\example"/>
   </validator-map>
   <validator-map type="expression"
classname="org.formproc.validation.REFormValidator"/>
   <validator-map type="rule"
classname="org.formproc.validation.RuleFormValidator"/>

   <form name="exampleform"
loader="com.anthonyeden.lib.resource.FileResourceLoader"
path="example-form.xml" monitor="true"/>

</formproc>

----------

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<form xmlns:formproc="http://www.formproc.org/">

   <name>example</name>

   <element name="name">
      <validator type="expression">
         <pattern>\w{1,}</pattern>
      </validator>
      <write-method>setName</write-method>
      <message lang="en">Required</message>
      <error lang="en">The name cannot be empty.</error>
   </element>
   
   <element name="username">
      <validator type="class"
classname="org.formproc.example.UsernameValidator"/>
      <message lang="en">5 characters or more.</message>
   </element>
   
   <element name="age">
      <validator type="rule">
         <rule>org.formproc.example.IsIntRule</rule>
      </validator>
      <message lang="en">Valid age required.</message>
   </element>
   
   <element name="password">
      <validator type="script">
         <script>PasswordValidator.py</script>
      </validator>
      <message lang="en">Minimum 8 characters.</message>
      <error lang="en">Passwords must be at least 8 characters.</error>
   </element>

</form>
