[OJB-developers] new repository syntax

[Thomas M. <tho...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I just checked in a new repository.dtd and all things related:
RepositoryXmlHandler, repository*.xml files, Descriptor classes, etc.

some things are still missing:

I did not yet touch the xml generation code. That is 
RepositoryPersistore.writeToFile(...) does generate invalid xml!
Of course I will fix this soon.

I did not rewrite the new ContentHandler classes yet. (Chris, if you 
have time you may start now with patching them.)

I did not yet provide documentation on the new grammar, but I hope to 
work on this soon.

during my changes today I overwrote some changes to metadata-related 
stuff checked in by others (namely the RepositoryXmlHandler and the 
repository_user.xml). we'll have to check this!

A request: Are there any XSLT experts on this list?
I'd like to provide OJB users with a stylesheet that can transform their 
old repository.xml into the new format.
Any volunteers?

cheers,

Thomas
