Axis has a consept for options (equivalent to our parameters)
that our existing Parameters object does not satisfy. It is
the concept of "locked" parameters.
The approach is in between the two states our Parameters object
can handle. Currently we have completely modifiable or read only.
The change would allow the markup to be changed to:
<parameter name="foo" value="bar" locked="true"/>
<parameter name="baz" value="vip"/>
The additional parameter (if present) will lock a parameter no
matter what state the object is in.
That way, a run-time system can have parameters that are modified
at specific times--but keep certain params from changing during
the life of the system.
There are two other things I would like to see: A Reparameterizable
interface (to compliment Reconfigurable), and a "fromConfiguration"
method that allows you to specify the element name for a parameter.
The attributes would be the same, but a project would be able to
use the name "option" instead of "parameter" if it wanted to.
