Hello,

----- "Douglas Garstang" <doug.garst...@gmail.com> a écrit :
| I was just doing a little research on the best way to switch over to
| external nodes. It seems like you can't use a combination of the two
| systems. Apparently if the external node tool can't find an external
| node (because it hasn't been cut over yet), then that's a failure.
| This makes moving from 'internal' nodes to external nodes BLOODY
| difficult.

Yup, lookup is done only in one system : node file or external nodes.


| I saw this old thread where someone else was in a similar situation:
| "> Well, we're trying to switch from one to the other, and was hoping
| to
| > not have to fully populate the external tool all at once and use it
| > everywhere.
| "
| 
| And a certain person, who shall remain nameless, seems somewhat
| detached from reality, when his response to that issue was:
| "Then add support for a default node."
| 
| Just how is that going to help? If you define a default external
| node,
| the error will go away, but since your internal node is now defined
| as
| a default external node that does nothing, any future changes to the
| internal nodes until they are cut over and going to be ignored.
| Nice... nice...

I leave nodes without a definition fail but you can also setup a class that 
reports that this node has no entry in the external node definitions with tag 
or an exported file.

Nico.
