[Xooof-developer] interface & namespace

[Mignon, L. <Lau...@so...>]

Hi,

Actually, we don't explicitely declare namespace for interface into the specifications (like structns, classns). Since parts of my application are splitted into different modules (namespaces), I need a way to know the namespace for each interface extended by a class.



     ------------------------------------------------            --------------------------------------------------------
     |                     X.Y                      |            |                      w.z                             |
     ------------------------------------------------            --------------------------------------------------------
     |                                              |            |                                                      |
     |   -------------  ----------------            |            |      ---------------                                 |
     |   |  x.y.bo   |  |x.y.interfaces|            |            |      | w.z.bo      |                                 |
     |   -------------  ----------------            |            |      ---------------                                 |
     |   | -----     |  |  -----       |            |            |      |  -----      |                                 |
     |   | | A |     |  |  |IA |       |            |            |      |  | B |      |                                 |
     |   | |   |=====|==|=>|   |<======|============|============|======|==|   |      |                                 |
     |   | -----     |  |  -----       |            |            |      |  -----      |                                 |
     |   -------------  ----------------            |            |      ---------------                                 |
     ------------------------------------------------            --------------------------------------------------------
       

I propose to apply to interface declarations the same solution as for classes: if a file named "interfacens.xml" and conform to the interfacens.dtd is located into the same directory of an interface specification file, the namespace to use for interface is the one specified into this interfacens.xml file. 

Comments?
