Re: How to access XML tag name?

So I wonder why Fabrizio did OPAX do you have an idea?
You get a simple tree but it is worth?
I will finish my improvement on OPAX.

This class is a pluggable factory that can map elements to different
XMLElement subclasses based on the name and namespace information of
those elements. You have to create an instance, configure it to handle
certain elements with certain classes, and then inject your instance
into a DOM parser using #nodeFactory: before parsing. Here is an example
of its use:

doc := (XMLDOMParser on: someXML)
nodeFactory:
(XMLPluggableElementFactory new
elementClass: GenericElement;
handleElement: 'user' withClass: UserElement;
handleElement: 'report' withClass: ReportElement;
handleElement: 'report' namespaceURI:
'urn:specialreprot' withClass: SpecialReportElement)
parseDocument.

The #handleElementsMatchingClass*: forms try to match elements to the
specified classes based on the names of those classes when stripped of
any prefix (like XML) and "Element" suffix and converted to both camel
case and a hyphenated form. So this:
XMLPluggableElementFactory new
handleElementsMatchingClass: MYRootUserElement
....
will handle 'rootUser' and 'root-user' elements with the
MYRootUserElement class.

Ok I checked it and there is only one class in the package.

Yes this is my impression and I checked the implementation and there is
only one class
extending XPath.

Hi,

I did OPAX :). At one point there was an effort around NodeFactory, and we chose to improve that one.

Cheers,
Doru

:)
So I'm doing a pass and cleaned it.
I created a small builder to generate subclasses and tags. I will
release it soon.
I will play with the FILMS xml to understand what can be a solution.

Then after I will check a bit more the pluggable.
