My long term objective is for components to be hierarchically configurable using a good mechanism that works against LDAP, DB and XML sources...the idea is that things dont care about how they are configured in the grand scheme of things, just that they can get their config data somewhere. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
