exception when parsing bxml

[Bill Mooney <av...@yahoo.com>]

I am upgrading a pivot 1.5 application to version 2.0.2 and I am getting the following exception when trying to to start the application. Just for background, I have updated the wtkx file so that xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx" now looks like xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml" and I have changed any references of the wtkx namespace to bxml.  The problem looks like occurring on the following line in my bxml file:

<PushButton bxml:id="aButton" styles="@styles/some_button.json">


It appears that the URL refererence isn't being resolved before the value is being set. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
-Bill

Re: exception when parsing bxml

Hi Bill,
if I remember well, this is a feature that has been removed (or better
changed) from 1.5.x to 2.0.x, look here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/PIVOT/major-feature-changes-between-15x-and-20.html

so now you should use "Named styles", as seen here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-553
and in your bxml do something like this (from issue page):

<bxml:define>
    <bxml:include bxml:id="testStyles" src="test_styles.json"/>
</bxml:define>

<Label text="Bold Green Label" styles="$testStyles.boldGreenLabel"/>


Otherwise, under examples/.../styles/  there is even a sample showing this ...
To simplify your tests, in attach I put a sample eclipse launch
configuration for running it ... with the stylesheet argument.


Tell us fo you need more info.

Bye,
Sandro
