Max Rydahl Andersen [05/Feb/08 02:44 PM] please remember that seam is fully ok with e.g. debug="@debug@" and then have a component.properties with debug=true Not sure if you have xsd:boolean in the XSD if that trick which we use alot will continue to work?

Norman Richards [21/Apr/08 04:11 PM] It won't be a problem. I've added a propertyType for @name@ replacements. For types like xs:boolean, I've declared a components:boolean than unions the xs type with the property and expression types. The net effect is that we can maintain good typing while explicitly allowing the property and EL expressions.

Norman Richards [23/Apr/08 03:09 PM] I've finished a good bit of the cleanup with a first round of setting attribute types and adding basic documentation. I'm hesitant to add too much documentation because of the increased documentation burden. But, we should probably have more than even what we have now. It would be really nice if we had some way to pull text from the main documentation to put in the XSDs. (or pull text from the XSDs for the main documentation) We now have the following base types:   components:expressionType - an EL expression or a @property@ value components:string - any string value components:int - a positive integer (or expresion value) components:boolean - a boolean (or expression value) components:componentName - a seam component name or java class (or expression value) That's been enough for most everything. There are no finer grained types for collection types. We shouldn't hesitate to add more types if they make sense. A few of the XSDs now refer to components.xsd by HTTP URL. This means that those schemas can be removed from src/main/org/jboss/seam to any other directory. The down side is that they cannot then refer to the current master components.xsd. If they use unpublished features of components.xsd, you'll need to change the schemaLocation to point to the local file while editing. Yes, this is a HUGE pain, but I can find no way around this. Id recommend we only use this approach for XSDs that we don't want in src/main and all the core seam XSDs stay where they are.
