Re: [infinispan-dev] 5.2 XML schema

Hi all, as part of my work on ISPN-1978 [1] and ISPN-2210 [2], I have hit a snag with the XML schema and the extensibility I want to allow: - currently elements in the global and cache configuration can be placed in any order and can happen at most once (using the <xs:all /> element) - I want to add an <xs:any namespace="##other /> element to the <xs:all /> above, but this is not allowed in XMLSchema 1.0. It is however a valid construct in XMLSchema 1.1 - Eclipse (even the latest Juno) does not validate XMLSchema 1.1 files and therefore developers using it wouldn't be able to get content assist when editing Infinispan configuration files Possible solutions: - I go with a 1.1 schema, telling Eclipse users to pressure for an updated XML editor - I stay with a 1.0 schema, but swap <xs:all> with <xs:sequence>, which forces the elements to appear in a specific order (minus), but allows extension points to be treated as first-class citizens (plus) - I stay with a 1.0 schema, and place the extension points inside a <modules> element which can be a child of <global>, <default> and <namedCache>. This allows elements to be in any order, but adds the extra indirection. Fortunately we don't have this issue with the cache stores since that is a <xs:sequence>. Opinions ?
