Cool, thanks Gary. so the following
<catalog name="clayCustomization"> <chain name="preprocessAddComponent"> <command className="org.apache.shale.usecases.rolodex.CustomCommand"/> </chain> </catalog> would execute CustomCommand before the creation of a component, validator, etc? I guess if I make CustomCommand a Filter then I would get a hook to the postProcess method which would actually be executed after the component, validator, etc is created?
