Yes, sorry looking back my comment wasn't clear. What I was catching on to
was that each element of the array stored an integer which seems to be
storing two different values - one in its 2 most significant bytes for the
component, one in its two least significant bytes for the unique key within
that component space - in your example a filename.
So, in the example above, the integer stored in p[1] is 0xfb021431 and is an
XSLTTransformer key. The integer stored in p[2] is 0xfb02542e, also an
XSLTTransformer key, but with a different resource. If I understood you
right,
p[1]>>>16 = p[2]>>>16 = 0x0000fb02
which is a unique hash meaning "XSLTTransformer" component. And
p[1] & 0xFFFF = 0x00001431
which is a unique hash meaning "layout.xsl".
What I was unclear of in the case of aggregators was: if your first step in
the example had been an aggregator instead of a FileGenerator, and combined
"hello.xml" and "goodbye.xml" would you combine the hash for those two
resources when creating p[0], or do you have an extra element in your array:
p[0]=fe03b342 { Aggregator, resource="hello.xml" }
p[1]=fe03abcd { Aggregator, resource="goodbye.xml" }
p[2]=fb021431 { XSLTTransformer, resource="layout.xsl" }
p[3]=fb02542e { XSLTTransformer, resource="skin.xsl" }
p[4]=fc010000 { HtmlSerializer }
