Hi,

I am using the avalon-http block but am having some trouble setting the
app.home context entry. I have tried the following but it is not being
picked up by the component.
<component name="avalon-jetty"
 	     class="org.apache.avalon.merlin.http.JettyWebServer" 
           activation="startup">
  <context>
    <entry key="app.home">
      <constructor class="java.io.File"> 			  
	   /applications/merlin/
	 </constructor>
    </entry>
  </context>
</component>

Any ideas?
The JettyWebServer component looks for both app.home and 
urn:avalon:home.  Did you get the following warning message in your log 
when you started merlin-http?

'app.home' key not found in context; trying 'urn:avalon:home'

Ah... looking at the code...

@avalon.entry key="urn:avalon:home" type="java.io.File"

is defined as a meta-tag in JettyWebServer's contextualize method. 
Being still somewhat of a newbie, I'm guessing that I might need to add

@avalon.entry key="app.home" type="java.io.File"

as a meta-tag also.  Is this correct?

I'm checking for app.home being defined in code like this:

try {
   home = (File) context.get("app.home");
} catch (ContextException ce) {
   // log a warning message here...
   try {
      home = (File) context.get("urn:avalon:home");
   } catch (ContextException cex) {
      // log a warning message here...
   }
}
Jim... Steve... someone help me out a little.  Do I need to add a 
meta-tag for app.home?
