Hi Pete:
Reading your reply I get the impression your thinking about something different to what is being proposed. The proposal concerns the CascadingConfiguration implementation for the apps/enterprise/orb package - it is not related to the earlier activitiy of attempting to incorporate a structural reference to a parent configuration.

The CascadingConfiguration implementation DOES provide a generic, intuitive and simple mechanism. I'm not sure what your looking at but its not what your describing. Can you identify one single operation in the CascadingConfiguration implementation which is not 100% consistent with the interface spec, and 100% consistent with a generally expected result? > > ...if you can come up with something better ;) > > I don't it a problem with a simple solution. > > > After this discussion I doubt there is a more "intuitive" and > > "intelligent" way of doing this. > > Berin once proposed a Rules based mechaism that was fairly > intuitive IIRC - > never got beyond prototyping stage though. > > > ...but hey, there is something that works - at least for the most > > use-cases. > > you sure?

I think maybe your assuming this proposal concerns the patch to AbstractConfiguration that I raised issue about. Its not that - it the CascadingConfiguration implemenmtation that has been well and try validated.
