XML self references

           Summary: XML self references
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.5 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Digester
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Michail.Medvinsky@fmr.com


It would be very advantageous for users to add a new processing instruction 
that  we can use to self reference XML or other files from within a source that 
will be bound.

For example

<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<?binding-rules source=”org/apache/jakarta/commons/digester/myrules.xml” ?>
<a>
……
</a>

This way we can change target objects and runtime binding just by editing the 
xml file with rules or editing separate rules.

The rules should be available via multiple sources:
ClassLoader
File
URL
Custom
