I'm wondering if it is premature for me to tackle such an app (e.g. a little XULRunner database with read/write forms.) I'll give it some more effort though. Thanks Mark for entering that bug id.

I spent years trying to write an RDF-heavy CMS-addon using Mozilla. RDF was the craggy rock my effort sank on. [wink] I spent around 3 hours last night trying to apply what I remembered about template datasources to the new model. While it is easy to get a datasource registered and template content generated, I quickly got lost on scripting it: attaching datasources dynamically, modifying the "model" and seeing template updates (hopefully without .reload()), reloading the model and seeing new content. Do you have any recommended place to explore how I can do read-write data with the new datasources? Hi Mark, thanks a ton for the writeups on the template/datasource changes.

Do you have any recommended place to explore how I can do read-write data with the new datasources?

XUL Explorer is nice. Thanks I’ll try that. XUL Explorer is nice.

Just copy the JS to a file in the "components" folder and paste the XUL in a new XUL Explorer document tab. Previewing should work. Worse case, you might need to delete your XUL Explorer profile folder to get the component registered. To make it work with Firefox 3 (and in general), you would need to make an extension to install the JS component. Scott - I use the sample in XUL Explorer.
