Ben HallSubject: xlnlink question
Author: Ben Hall
Date: 14 Jun 2001 08:08 AM
Hi!

We've been working with Stylus 2.0 and moved to 3.0 during Beta testing. Now we're using the GA release. Initially, we loved the xlnlink traversal the 3.0 version offers but now I have run into a problem.

My thinking had been that when Stylus brings in an XML document it traverses the linked nodes and makes the document *look* like it is all one big document.

But I believe that I am wrong here and it is causing serious document management/confusion issues. In reality it seems like if you make a change to a node that is below a node that is a traversed xlnlink the linked document nodes actually get pulled into the parent document. Is that a correct statement? Does this occur only in text editing mode (what I normally work in) or all of the editing modes.

This becomes extremely problematic because then the linked document is no longer in a consistent state with what was pulled into the parent. Is there a setting to change this? To maintain consistent data it seems like the update should take place in the actually linked document.

Thanks,

Ben

If you edit a Portal Server document containing xlnlink directives from
Stylus Studio, Stylus Studio doesn't know anything about the presence of
such directives; it just handles the whole traversed document.

If you edit the document and save the document as you would normally do, I
think Portal Server will loose the xlnlink directives it initially had in
the master document, and will just store the document as a single unit.

The only alternative which should work is that you edit your document in
the tree tab and then save the document *changes* as update grammar rather
than saving the whole document; you can do that, as mentioned, only in tree
mode (that's the only way we can keep track of your actions and translate
them into a Portal Server update grammar) and then clicking the "XUL
update" button in the XML editor document window (first button on the left
in the XML editor toolbar).

As mentioned, that can only work using update grams.

Hope this helps,
Minollo
