Hi all,
this is regarding reuse of message definition files within the same message set project. I know this can be done using the import and include functionality. The only problem that I am facing is this:
I have 2 different message definitions within the same message set project,which are having some elements common and some others unique for each. by doing include,i can reuse the common elements from one defn into the other. The problem is that both the messages are supposed to have the "same root element name", say Parentroot, in the input XML format. Consequently,i need to keep the name of the message root in the msg defns as same (Parentroot here) for both defns which the MB does not allow saying that a message set cannot have 2 elements of same name and different structure in two different definition files

A sample representation of the 2 msgs can be as given:

<Parentroot>
<Element1></Element1>
<Element2></Element2>
</Parentroot>

<Parentroot>
<Element1></Element1>
<Element3></Element3>
</Parentroot>

I hope i am able to get my problem through.Please let me know if there is a workaround for this, probably by somehow breaking up the messages into more number of definition files,etc.

thanks,
Sudeep
