[jbosscache-dev] Configuration Related Changes and Notes

I committed the following changes: --------------------------------- - Switched to JBossEntityResolver to support automatic schema discovery - Updated schema to use urn:jboss:jbosscache-core:config:3.0 namespace - Corrected simple type pattern for locking scheme - Modified parser and configs to use the namespace - Added root element checking to prevent NPEs I ran these through the full testsuite with no failures, however a recent commit I had to merge appears to have broken a number of tests (with or without my changes). Some outstanding issues: ----------------------- - Schema validation failures just log errors. Shouldn't they abort startup? The XML parsing code seems to assume validation was performed and successful since it doesn't do much itself - XmlParsingConfigurationRegistry does not use a proper schema! - LegacyConfigurationTest is testing the new configuration format instead of the legacy one - We need to decide on case sensitivity and correct either the schema (as I did for locking scheme), or update the xslt to lower/upper case everything - Not sure what to do about the jgroups section. Right now the configs put it in the cache namespace, which is not really correct. However since we don't have a jgroups namespace, I didnt bother qualifying. The only other option would be to add xmlns="" to the outer jgroups element. In any case the parser accepts them in any namespace JAXB ---- IMO, we should think about using JAXB for this in the future. It is *much* more accurate than hand rolled parsing code, and it's a lot easier to maintain. It also has very good error handling (you don't even need to do full schema validation with it). While it does require a jar under JDK5, it is part of JDK6, so if we added a another dep it would only be temporary. -- Jason T. Greene JBoss, a division of Red Hat
