Configuration Preproccesor - Nesting Defines

[jospeh]

Does the preprocessor support nesteing a definition in another
definition?

For example, say I have

<cb:define name="test">
<cb:define name="nested">
<foobar>foobar</foobar>
</cb:define>
</cb:define>

can i now do

<cb:test/>
<cb:nested/>

or will i get an error that nested is not defined?

i have a bizarre error and am wondering if it is because of this

thank you,
jospeh

No, it doesn't.

It does support nesting, but not in the way Joseph wants. The scope of
the nested definition is limited to inside the outer definition. i.e.
this is legal:

<cb:define name="foo">
<cb:define name="bar">Hello</cb:define>
<cb:bar/> <!-- ok, bar is defined in this scope -->
</cb:define>

<cb:foo/> <!-- ok -->
<cb:bar/> <!-- undefined -->

Good point. I thought of that after sending my answer, but I couldn't
come up with a good example of how it would be useful.

For those of you who don't follow the ccnet-devel list, Jeremy Lew is
the author of the Release 1.4 Configuration Preprocessor. He took an
interesting problem, produced a powerful solution, and contributed it
back to CCNET for the rest of us to use.

Thanks!

Ross

Just a quick question, Has anyone run CCNet on Linux/Unix and are
they're binaries currently built for such an animal or is that something
I'd have to do myself with the use of Mono or something.

Cheers

Hi Chris,

you should be able to run the server and the webdashboard with the
standard builds (get the zip file).
I've been running it succesfully using mono + apache/mod_mono some time ago.
I might set up a wiki page for that if there is some demand for it.

I hope this helps.

regards,

Daniel
