Advices and warnings

A few advices, warnings and observations that may simplify your work with WXT

  • Addresscalculations are an expensive job in WXT. If you are not depending on addresscalculations, it is a good idea to turn off the addressing mechanisme in the script:
    <addressing tagname="_none" attribute="_none"/>
    
    See Addressing for detals of this element.
  • MSIE does not seem to like XML-extensions on XHTML-pages when the media-type is set to text/xml. The solution seems to be: Allways use mediatype text/html when we make pages which are strict XHTML or transitional. (and we dont make other HTML-variants, do we ?)
  • It is expensive to initiate new instances of WXT from a script. It may tempting and practical, but it costs more processing time than to expand the script with another group. An alternative is to use bootstrapping, see Bootstrap.
  • It has turned out very efficient to combine all the possibilities of ANT (http://ant.apache.org/) with WXT. ANT may help you copy files and catalogs, producing zip-archives etc. You may call ANT from a WXT-script and you may start WXT from ANT.
