Xindice Browser: Complete Redesign: Pluggable Views...

[Alexander Schatten <al...@gmx.net>]

Hi Xindice users

After the first "shots", I made a complete redesign of Xindice browser.

As before, you can browse Xindice collections and documents, make XPath 
queries, save (multiple) documents and query results into individual or 
one single document.

Now the views are completly pluggable. That means: adding an own view 
means: writing one java class, implementing one interface with two 
methods, adding an entry into the config.xml.

thats it.

moreover: views can be parametrized, so one view can be added multiple 
with different starting parameters. the configuration is like this:

       <views number="4">
         <view
           name="treeview"
           title="Tree View"
           class="info.schatten.xindicebrowser.gui.XiTreeView"
         >
           <param name="defaultText" value="no data" />
         </view>
         <view
           name="sourceview"
           title="Source"
           class="info.schatten.xindicebrowser.gui.XiSourceView"
         />
         <view
           name="htmlview"
           title="HTML"
           class="info.schatten.xindicebrowser.gui.XiHtmlView"
         />
         <view
           name="treeview2"
           title="Tree View 2"
           class="info.schatten.xindicebrowser.gui.XiTreeView"
         >
           <param name="defaultText" value="no information" />
         </view>
       </views>

this should explain itself. For example: the Treeview is added twice 
with different parameters.

Currently three views are available. Source view, tree view and html view.

I guess I will add the one or the other view the next days.

Check it out...
