Mike,
Okay, that all sounds good to me. I see the ListHandler now, cool!
Greg,
Any thoughts? Would you implement these?
1. "htf:reference"
2. "htf:include" (or whatever you wanna call it)
Thanks,
Tom

I just thought of another one. How about a setting and shared
handler that allows another component's configuration file to be
specified so that we don't have to embed everything in one configuration
file?
I agree - been thinking about an "IncludeHandler" for a while.

Greg\Mike,
I'm working through the conversion of our various CPs configuration
data to the higgins configuration APIs and I think I've come up with
a couple more shared handlers that would be nice to have:
1. "htf:mapRef" - This would basically be a shortcut to the map
named by the string in the specified setting. Mike may use the
example below differently than I'm thinking but, if it's just a way
to get the map key, this shared handler would allow the config to
look like this:
<Setting Name="STSKeyStore" Type="htf:keystore">
<!-- The type of the Key Store -->
<Setting Name="Type" Type="xsd:string">JKS</Setting>
<!-- The file that contains the Key Store
- location
relative to the Configuration directory -->
<Setting Name="File" Type="htf:file">localhost.jks</Setting>
<!-- The password for the Key Store -->
<Setting Name="Password" Type="xsd:string">changeit</Setting>
</Setting>
<Setting Name="IssuerCertificate" Type="htf:certificate">
<!-- The Name of the Key Store that contains the Certificate -->
<Setting Name="KeyStoreName"
Type="htf:mapRef">STSKeyStore</Setting>
<!-- The alias for the Certificate in the Key Store -->
<Setting Name="Alias" Type="xsd:string">leaf</Setting>
</Setting>
Actually - a more generic form would be a "htf:reference" - since you
should be able to point to anything, not just a map.
2. "htf:vector" - We have some settings in our CPs that are
basically repeated fields of the same name so it'd be nice to have a
shared handler that would help with this, for example:
<Setting Name="Addresses" Type="htf:vector">
<Setting Name="Address" Type="xsd:string">ldap://localhost:
50389</Setting>
<Setting Name="Address" Type="xsd:string">ldaps://localhost:
50666</Setting>
</Setting>
Do these make sense? seem useful?
Sort of, I have an htf:list that does this already.
Thanks,
Tom
