Re: [Springframework-developer] Include/import directive in XML bean definition files

Sounds plausible. I'm no XML expert, though: How could we make this =
work?

Betreff: Re: [Springframework-developer] Include/import directive in XML =
bean definition files




Hi!

Why not use standardized XInclude syntax? It would look like this:

<beans xnlns:xi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
        ...
        <xi:include href=3D"anyURL"/>
        ...
</beans>

XInclude supports inclusion of xml and text data; thus it could replace
annoying CDATA sections.

Regards,

Timo
