Jörg, I think wat you have proposed is a good compromise.. We'll leave configurationfactory alone so as not to create a dependency on the apis for jdk1.3, and if you can get me that patch, I'll do it all tomarrow morning.
then, as part of 1.1, doing the refactoring on ConfigurationFactory will be great..
