RE : [Springframework-developer] DTD

[JP P. <jp....@ti...>]

Hi Rod,

First, some remarks:
- You have changed the attribute of ref elements from refid to bean.
It's better, but has to be noticed.
- It seems you forgot the singleton attribute. I don't remember its
default value. It will be better set the DEFAULT in the DTD.
- Can really the class attribute be omitted for beans?
- Where should be the DTD? Clearly somewhere in the jar. Perhaps in a
ressource directory. I don't remember what is to do to retrieve locally
a PUBLIC DTD. As we have no official URI to put the DTD, I have put the
attached one on my personal site for testing PUBLIC DOCTYPE. But is it
possible to put our DTD somewhere in SourceForge?
- Should we require all XML files to be valid.
	* For this one, the DOCTYPE should only be used for files using
the new syntax. The files whithout the DOCTYPE will only be checked for
well forming.
	* For now, we have only the applicationContext and the
servlet-definition in XML. Both are using the same DTD. Have I missing
somewhat?

I have transformed the old pagedlist bean definition to the new syntax
as it was the smallest I have. I tested it against the DTD as SYSTEM and
PUBLIC with XmlSpy. I have attached the two files to this mail.

Regards,
Jean-Pierre
