DeltaXML Forums

Just a quick update on this issue:

Since September, the 6.2 release has come out, it adds a new Combiner feature to control the addition of comments in the output.

We also discovered a documentation bug (will be correct in next release) - the deltaV2 feature setting applies to the XMLCombiner as well as the XMLComparator.

As before, the list is included in the Javadoc package overview page:

Hello and welcome,

The setFeature() and setProperty() methods are modelled on the 'SAX/JAXP style' used in the Java parser and transformer interfaces. They were both provided for 'symmetry' and future expansion reasons.

However, as you've discovered there is only one current combiner feature. We try to document properties/features on the package overview page in javadoc:

http://www.deltaxml.com/core/current/docs/api/com/deltaxml/api/package-summary.html

The properties/features have grown over the years and are partly driven by customer demand - they would for example allow now features to be added while maintaining runtime compatibility for other customers.

For more info on the combiner via the API:

http://www.deltaxml.com/core/current/docs/api/com/deltaxml/api/XMLCombiner.html

The command-line documentation also provides some usage examples:

http://www.deltaxml.com/core/current/docs/command-processor.html#arguments

and there is correspondence between forward/reverse subcommands and the API feature setting.

Hope this helps,

Nigel

Hello, I am new to DeltaXML. I see that XMLCombiner has a member functions setFeature() and setProperty(). As far as I have been able to determine there is only one feature available, "http://deltaxml.com/api/feature/isCombineForward". I have not been able to find a list of properties that can be set on an XMLCombiner. If this has been covered in another topic I apologize for the duplicate post. Otherwise, if someone would post a link I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.
