For example in package com.acme class Foo { } could be described by XML: <acme:Foo> </acme:Foo> Now, I want to add the binding com.acme.sales.Bar to the Foo class: <acme:Foo> <sales:Bar /> </acme:Foo> In other words, any binding type can be inserted as a child element to a class. So, we need a way to identify this as a point that any binding type can be inserted. Does this explain it better? > > > -- > Jason T.
