[jira] Commented: (HIVEMIND-98) Processing Rules docs (and maybe framework) enhanchement request

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVEMIND-98?page=comments#action_60319 ]
     
Giorgio Gallo commented on HIVEMIND-98:
---------------------------------------

OUPS! Forgot to mention... sorry

IMHO the (whatever) is at the bottom of the stack should be removed from there and the special <add-element/> rule should add the object on top of the stack to the config element list.

> (After smashing my head with a huge hammer for I once again I underestimated the importance of reading documentation) I realized the red box isn't actually very visible in docs and I overlooked it because, having a bit of familiarity with digester, I quit reading after the first few paragraphs. :)

> Framework enhanchement request (maybe already ok in 1.1 - sorry: didn't check):
> Since this <invoke-parent method="addElement"/> is SO important, why not adding a new type of rule, say: <add-element/>? After all I (as a HM user) really don't want to know the name of the method called...
> Also, couldn't the rule <set-parent .../> be sort of dangerous if called like in:

>     <set-parent    .../>

> I would end up having a reference to whatever HM puts at the bottom of the stack in an object of mine...
