Right - thats what we are saying. The lookup string is just a key. That key may be mapped to a more complex notion in the Block/ComponentInfo. What is the correct terminology though; In Phoenix: Role == lookup Key Service == Complex Notion In Fortress: Role == key (however key implies Complex Notion) We need to find a term to designate the complex notion and another term to designate the lookup key. In traditional literature Role designates the Complex Notion. > Please guys, try to keep this as simple as possible using as few terms > as possible. Thats what we are trying to do. Whats your preference? We need one term to designate the lookup key and one to designate the complex notion. -- Cheers, Peter Donald --------------------------------------------------------- Clarke's Third Law: "Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced". --------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
