You could submit a feature request to be able to import signal handlers
from a file.

Subject: Re: [staf-users] signal handlers on a separate file
The import element (and the function-import element) only import functions
(<function>...</function.) from other STAX XML files, not signal handlers
(<signalhandler>...</signalhandler>) as described in the description of
the import element in the STAX User's Guide. So, this is why what you
tried did not work.
To have only one STAX xml file that contains all signal handlers for your
STAX jobs, you would need to define them all in your main.xml file. To
then have separate files for each of the STAX jobs that you want to run
that use these signal handlers, in addition to defining your signal
handlers in your main.xml file, you could also define a starting function
for each of your STAX jobs that use these signal handlers in your main.xml
file. Each starting function can simply import a separate STAX xml file
that contains what you want that STAX job to do and then call its starting
function (e.g. health_monitor_main) and it will be able to raise these
signal handlers that were defined in your main.xml file. If using the
STAX Monitor to kick off your STAX job, specify the main.xml file and then
use the "Functions" tab to specify the starting function (e.g.
health_monitor), and then click on the "Start Job" button to start the
job. Or, use the "Job Wizard" button so you can be shown a list of the
functions in the main.xml file and select the starting function, e.g .
health_monitor, and click on the "Save" button to save the job options
specified via the job wizard and then click on the "Start Job" button to
start the job. Or, if starting the job via the command line, specify the
starting function using the FUNCTION option on your STAX EXECUTE request
(e.g. STAF local STAX EXECUTE FILE C:/stax/main.xml FUNCTION
health_monitor JOBNAME "Health Monitor").
Here's an example:
Contents of file main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<!-- Define all signal handlers -->
<signalhandler signal="'health_monitor_end'">
<sequence>
<message>'signalhandler health_monitor_end ends the monitor'</message>
<terminate block="'main.Health_Monitor'"/>
</sequence>
</signalhandler>
<!-- Define all starting functions -->
<function name="health_monitor" scope="local">
<sequence>
<import file="'health_monitor.xml'"/>
<call function="'health_monitor_main'"/>
</sequence>
</function>
</stax>
Contents of file health_monitor.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<function name="health_monitor_main" scope="local">
<block name="'Health_Monitor'">
<sequence>
<message>'Beginning of Health_Monitor block'</message>
<raise signal="'health_monitor_end'"/>
<message>'End of Health_Monitor block'</message>
</sequence>
</block>
</function>
</stax>

Subject: [staf-users] signal handlers on a separate file
I would like to write a STAX File containing all the signal handlers I
need.
In the STAX syntax I cannot import this file if not in a STAX function, is
it right?
If I import it in a function my thread doesn't see the signal handler
created.
My example is the following:
main xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<defaultcall function="defaultcall"/>
<function name="defaultcall" scope="local">
<function-prolog>
This is the function called to start the test
</function-prolog>
<sequence>
<import file="'signal_handlers.xml'"/>
......
.....
.....
.....
</sequence></function></stax>
signal_handlers.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<signalhandler signal="'health_monitor_end'">
<sequence>
<message>'signalhandler health_monitor_end ends the monitor'</message>
<terminate block="'main.Healt_Monitor'"/>
</sequence>
</signalhandler>
</stax>
why signal handler is not handled and I get error:
"No signal handler exists associated with element raise" ?
Regards.
Luca.
