...
from the example in containerkit:
"
<context type="MyContextInterface">
<!--
Declaration of an entry in a context object, the "key" is
the key used by a component to locate the context entry,
the "type" is the classname of value (typically an interface)
or primative type. The default value is java.lang.String.
The "optional" attribute is a boolean value derived from the
TRUE or FALSE that indicates if the context value must be
provided or not (default is FALSE).
-->
<entry key="base" type="java.io.File"/>
<entry key="mode" type="java.lang.Object" optional="TRUE"/>
</context>
"
I think we agree then.
