My knee jerk response was to look for 'namespace' in the docs TOC. The only thing that I found that seemed promising was NamespaceHandler

good example

"ref-local" looks only in the same context file IIRC.

Thanks. That works. I thought there was a simple way to do it. I should have looked in the appendix too.

Here is a real world example I am dealing with right now: I am writing some code that uses a commercial FTP lib (it does other stuff too). For some instances I want to setup the logic to use straight...

This may seem like a stupid question, but yes, I did search and I did look at the ref docs, plus trying several different simple (and apparently stupid) ways of doing it. I suppose I could use a...

Just a knee jerk response, but when I see behavior like this in Swing components, I check to see that the logic is working within the Swing EDT thread. If it isn't then that could very easily be your...

I wasn't doubting Spring RCP - it was this, in the first post, that caught my eye:

I saw no mention of a SwingWorker, Spin, FoxTrot, or coordinating with the EDT, so I thought I would mention it -...

Just a note because I didn't see anybody mention it yet: putting a Swing component in another thread besides the Swing EDT thread isn't going to work.

I assume the OP somehow solved his problem,...

It depends on the app. I agree that the GUI should not be coupled to biz logic, which is one of the reasons I am saying that I would prefer that there be yet another more generic 'command' layer. And...

Callbacks are essentially listeners for Command events (started, interrupted, paused, finished), but they also serve as glue to other components that call the Commands and Callbacks are the only...

Here is where I am at now:

I have a Command interface. Often, you will see this interface just have a single 'execute()' method (this is what the Apache Commons Command is). My philosophy is to...

As for Spring Desktop. Maybe.

As I said in another thread, writing Swing or even desktop logic in my spare time is low on my list of things to do. If I can or have to do it at work then I could...

First, to the most relevant question: how do you decouple commands from the UI?

It isn't that hard - mostly you use interfaces and the UI calls the command, not the other way around. This allows...

I understand the idea of factories, and please be patient with me when I ask these questions and make these comments - they are meant as what is *hopefully* constructive feedback.

So here goes.

Oh I will always advocate for thick rich clients in certain applications. The right tool for the right job. Web clients have a *LONG* ways to go to even begin to compare to rich clients, especially...

Thanks Lieven.

I had read a couple of other posts where the nature of the dev effort was explained and I can sympathize. I used to work almost solely on Swing apps which often made it difficult...

Thanks. I was reading up on the architecture/etc. yesterday and noticed the factories. I agree they could be used that way. Not that sure of the advantage with respect to productivity since you wind...

So, I have a related question:

Where is the definitive project site that pulls all this together?

I see various docs (the ones in referenced in this thread, some on the Confluence wiki(?), some...

No, if you are talking about the original problem, not my rantings, we wanted remove the title bar altogether to there was no vertical real estate taken up by it. I cheated and made the title bar...

Lots of people hate Maven. Lots of people love it. Seems it is one or the other, which is interesting because I don't hear people saying the love or hate Ant.

Bear in mind, I didn't say I hate...

I avoid pre-GA releases for the most part unless I need something in them for really compelling reasons, or I am contributing to them. Generally there are just too many issues like these to deal with...

Where is the source code?

I might be interested to take a peek at it to see what direction it was going to see if I want to pursue that, or if I can get some ideas from it.

The Confluence page...
