[OpenLayers-Dev] Overwriting attributes

[Steven Ottens]

Hi all,

I want to add GML 3.2.1 support to an OpenLayers application but I don't want to modify OpenLayers.js so I want to override two classes (OpenLayers.Format.WFST.v1_1_0 and OpenLayers.Format.WFST.v1) Actually, I only want to add another namespace to v1.namespaces and an extra reader to v1_1_0.readers
I found this thread: http://openlayers.org/pipermail/users/2009-April/011227.html which provide 3 ways to overwrite a class. They're all meant for either overwriting a class or a specific function within that class. The things I want to change, aren't functions so I've tried to overwrite the two classes.
However, due to the way OpenLayers handles WFS/GML with formats, I don't believe I have the option to directly call the new classes instead of the original classes. The two WFST classes are called through a whole series of other classes, which would mean I have to change these as well (right?).

So my question is, if there's an easy way to add the two attributes from outside openlayers.js?

Regards,
Steven
