Re: [Springframework-developer] Import tag for XML bean definitions

[bryan <nih...@gm...>]

juergen .... you are a legend !!!!=20

Hey one thing though ..

Would it be possible to allow the user to specify a list like=20
so  .......=20

 <import resource=3D"myImport1.xml,myImport2.xml,myImport3.xml"/>

The reason that this would be *super* *super* usefull is because then=20
users could store these values in a properties file or in the registry
using the Preferences API and then use the property placeholder=20
configurer to fill in the blanks at runtime.=20

On other thing ..... if you wanted to be super smart and really show off=20
heres a cool feature ....=20

<beans>
<if value=3D"test" equals=3D"test">
 <import resource=3D"myImport1.xml"/>
</if>

 <bean ... />


</beans>
