Hi there, i work on a application that let the users configure it to their needs using a certain file (a user-settings.xml) during the years this file has changed, so there exist different versions now. my idea is to transform all of them to the newest version. the configuration file is a very simple xml file (max 2 levels), the changes are also moderate (create node, delete node, rename node and merge content of nodes). the thing is, i want to keep the transformation expandable by only configuring what have changed from version to version. e.g. like that ------------------------------------- <Versions> <Version nr="0.3"> <Actions> <RenameAction fromElement="elementA" toElement="elementD"/> </Actions> </Version> <Version nr="0.2"> <Actions> <MergeContentAction toElement="elementA" separator=" "> <MergeFromElement name="elementB"/> <MergeFromElement name="elementC"/> </MergeContentAction> </Actions> </Version> <Version nr="0.1"> </Versions> ------------------------------------- so, i only will have one transformation file instead of a file for each version. what about this approach? i think that this is supposed to be a common issue, isn't it? Thanks for your ideas, Matthias
