I think your right-on to say that the clay component and metadata sources are the strongest extension points. I've thought about making interfaces of the config beans so that it would be easier to define alternate sources for the metadata used to build the subtree. This is an area that the JSF spec doesn't address and I wonder if it will be covered in JSF 2? I wouldn't be surprised if we see some templating extension that is similar to facelets which might be another option for Clay to support. It might be best to keep the published API based at a Component that is loosely defined by various metadata sources. Please add the "org.apache.shale.clay" package to the public API list. > Craig Gary
