That was me! When I converted the CocoonBean to use ModifiableSources, I needed to get hold of a SourceResolver. As the bean isn't an Avalon component, it didn't have one itself. The only place I could think of to get it was the Cocoon instance itself. I'm quite happy to do this another way - all I need is to get hold of a SourceResolver from outside an Avalon component. My Avalon knowledge is weak, so I am unaware of another way. Regards, Upayavira
