The toolkit allows you to define processors in two locations. You
can define the process in the toolkit processor definition file, dseproc.xml
or in an independent XML file. Processors defined in an independent file are
self-defined processors. From an implementation point of view, there is no
difference between a self-defined processor and a non-self-defined processor.
You would use self-defined processors when stopping your application to implement
a new processor or to update an existing definition is not wanted or when
the application cannot immediately download the full set of toolkit XML files.
The
self-defined processor file can also contain definitions for the contexts
and formats that the processor requires. It can also contain more than one
processor definition.
