For this project we need to be able to display an attribute
sheet for each selectable component on the screen. To keep
us from hard coding the attribute sheets for each component
we are working on a way to specify how each sheet should
look. This method should also provide a mapping between
the data model and the final exported XML.
The attached file provides a possiblity of what a configuration
file for such a method would be. The file provides the structure
of how the attributes should be display as well as their types
and in some cases some accepted values. The path attribute
provides the XPath for the attribute in the final XML.
NOTE: After an email from Prof. Vallino and a discussion
on Sunday the method for creating the attribute sheets
has been modified. This file is provide for reference
and as a starting point for the modified method.
