Also - there is the question of how a context can defined via XML. You
mentioned in another thread that there are several meta-models and
several configuration formats that are different. Something to go onto
the overall A5 agrenda is agreeing on at standard context definition
schema before we see the emergence of mutiple solutions.
The only context schema that I know of at the moment is the
ContextFactory class in the Merlin tree. I think that an excellent
reference point but needs examples and lots more documentation.
Also, at the meta-info level - we need a mechanisms to declare that a
component references context keys - either as "requires" or "optional".
This can be used by the container to ensure (a) that context
defintions are provided and that the component context contract can be
fullfilled.
