Folks, while messing around with the schema, I just found a possible glitch: Last week, we defined the new attribute "sid" in the element jsdl:FileSystem. This attribute refers to a symbolic name for a filesystem to be made available (mounted) to the environment of the application. This implies 2 issues: a) If the mount point is site configurable (aka unknown to the JSDL document creator) then it is useless to specify a jsdl:MountPoint element. Therefore, jsdl:MountPoint should be optional, instead of mandatory (as it is now) b) We need to define the symbols that are allowed for this new attribute. I propose the following list for a starter: "jsdl:HOME" = The home directory of the jsdl:ExecutionUserID "jsdl:TMP" = A directory for temporary file storage (for the time of the execution) "jsdl:SPOOL" = A spool directory JSDL should allow creators to use their own symbols as long as they are defined in a different namespace. The base set of symbols defined in JSDL MUST be supported by all implementors. Comments, ideas, rants? :-) Cheers, Michel
