Configuration

The elements described in the following sections are defined within namespace

http://calyxo.odysseus.de/xml/ns/base

Standalone Calyxo Base configuration files can be included by other configuration files of any Calyxo component. If the XML parser doesn't support XML Schema, DTD validation has to be used by declaring the Calyxo Base document type as in:

<!DOCTYPE calyxo-base-config
  PUBLIC "-//Odysseus Software GmbH//DTD Calyxo Base 0.9//EN"
  "calyxo-base-config.dtd">

To reuse Calyxo Base configuration elements in another component, say foo, this namespace should be bound to prefix base in the root element of the configuration file, as in

<calyxo-foo-config version="0.9"
  xmlns="http://calyxo.odysseus.de/xml/ns/foo"
  xmlns:base="http://calyxo.odysseus.de/xml/ns/base">
  ...
</calyxo-foo-config>

Dynamic attributes (attributes, whose value may contain EL expressions) are evaluated in a context, that provides several implicit objects. These implicit objects are always available under the following names:

1. moduleContext resolves to the module context instance
2. moduleScope resolves to a map serving module scope attributes
3. applicationScope resolves to a map serving application scope attributes

Other identifiers are resolved to variables and attributes. That is, they are searched as local variable, then as module scope attribute, then as application scope attribute.

Throughout this reference, required attributes appear strong. Dynamic attributes appear emphasized.
