re-reading some of the recent emails - I think I get it now - the
difference is between blocks and components:
- a block is a component with metadata.
- when lookup(roleName) is called:
- if the client comes with no metadata specifying the meaning of the
roleName, then the component/block returned is the one specified by
the assembler.
- if the client has metadata that specifies the meaning of the
roleName then the container compares this with the metadata for the
blocks and returns one that matches. [aside: I assume that the
assembler can overide this]
is this correct?
sorry for taking up so much bandwidth trying to figure this out.
Robert.
