REQUIRED_OBJECTS

This element contains a list of objects that should not be stripped at build time even if they are not used by the current skin. Can be used for testing purposes, or when using a KUIML_WIDGET. Multiple instances of this element are allowed: any new object identifier will be added to the list of required objects.

In essense: REQUIRED_OBJECTS just makes sure that the objects in the data model are created.

Explanation

Say you've declared a param in the main skin (.xml) file:

You plan to use this parameter inside the KUIML_WIDGET. If you've never used this parameter inside the main skin (where it was declared), then it will be stripped (not created) by the KUIML engine, and so inside KUIML_WIDGET you'll get an error saying that this parameter is missing. To prevent this, you can use REQUIRED_OBJECTS in the main skin (where my_param is declared):

Now that parameter is created in the data model and not stripped even if it's not used in the current skin.

To make this parameter accessible in other data models (say in KUIML_WIDGET) and scripts see EXPOSED_OBJECTS.
