If you turn on lazy loading (currently the default), then components are not preloaded even if the preload attribute is set to true.
Actually the evaluation of the flag works fine and the correct handler is set, but no component is created as the handler is not initialized at this stage. For example, the hsqldb is not started on startup. I'm not sure how to fix this. Perhaps by calling the initialize method of the handler at some stage?
