Hi, David. does enclosing your XML in a CDATA section help? It should just get written out without being interpreted, and it works for me in the toolfactory - the contents still get written out but without the CDATA section.

<configfiles> <configfile name="loadTestxml"> <![CDATA[ <!DOCTYPE crystal SYSTEM "/usr/share/sgml/crystal.dtd"> <!--- Load a pos file called "babla.pos" --> <crystal> <version value="0.0.1"/> <posload name="${posfile}"/> </crystal> ]]> </configfile> </configfiles>

Hello,

I have a tool that takes an XML file as input. So I thought it would be a good idea to put it in the <configfiles> tag, to replace some of the variables.

Quick example :

....

<inputs> <param name="posfile" type="data" label="Posfile" help="Posfile you want to input to POSGEN" format="pos" /> </inputs>

<configfiles> <configfile name="loadTestxml"> <!DOCTYPE crystal SYSTEM "/usr/share/sgml/crystal.dtd"> <!--- Load a pos file called "babla.pos" --> <crystal> <version value="0.0.1"/> <posload name="${posfile}"/> </crystal> </configfile> </configfiles> ....

But when I load the tool configuration, it seems that the XML in <configfile> is interpreted, and/or I don't get anything in the input file.

Is there a way to do what I want ?

Cheers,
