Hi Ken,
I will file an enhancement request.
But i do think that the ability to control if a handler should be called
is really needed,
In gui, there are lots of codes that depends the availability of 'if' to
decide what to be called. eg
<call name="createMBeanWithReferences" if="$attribute(isMBean)" />
<call name="createResourceWithReferences" if="!$attribute(isMBean)" />
If we can't do something equivalent to this, it will be major drawback
from the jato framework.
thanks
Anissa.
