[Vcb-framework] RE: part/device DTD namings

[<Hov...@ly...>]

I will make part and devices similar. I will also add type for part. We can
use it later to attach graphical figures to types.

Subject: part/device DTD namings 


Hi all,
 
We have naming problem for the VCB configurations for example it is dificult
to have in one configuration two the same parts or devices.
for that purpose I want to change DTDs for part and device
for device in the atribute we have only name and now i suggest to have:
 <!ATTLIST device
    type CDATA #REQUIRED
    sourcename CDATA #REQUIRED
    name CDATA #IMPLIED
>
where 
'type' will be the type of the device for example "WebPage", 
'name' will be display name in the configuration for example if name is not
defined for type="WebPage" it will be "WebPage1" or my be defined like
"MyHomepage", 
sourcename will indicate XML configuration file name.

---------------------
for part in the attribures we have name only and we use it as display name
as well as classname. 
<!ATTLIST part
    name CDATA #IMPLIED
    classname CDATA #REQUIRED
    sourcename CDATA #REQUIRED
>
where 
"classname" is classname of the IPart class (or in the future standard
class)
"name" is the display name in the device configuration
"sourcename" is part's description XML file name.
 
Is there any idea?
