Forum OpenACS Development: Re: RFC: Using tDOM instead of nsxml

Posted by Tom Jackson on

In AOLserver4, using tDOM means you just do something like:

eval package require tDom

I'm not sure of the exact syntax, but you can load any tcl package into AOLserver4, so there isn't any need for a C level module anymore.

I have replaced ns_xml with tDOM in an earlier OACS 4.6 version (around 4.6.1). However, I have not committed my changes yet because it would require people to install tDOM while all the documentation still refers to ns_xml. What would be a good time to swich over from ns_xml to tDOM?

For the record. Both libraries can be loaded at the same time and packages depending on ns_xml will still work. My changes only concern the XML procedures in the core.

My suggestion is to compare notes with Neophytos before making any changes.
