Hi, I have to admit that I have never used avalon nor do I know the reasoning for separating the TorqueInstance class from the Torque class, so this may be of limited or no value to you.
Internally, most (if not all)Torque classes use the Torque.java object to access their configuration. The Torque object has a reference to a TorqueInstance object which is _INTERNALLY_ used by the Torque.java object to access the configuration. So you cannot get around a static configuration of Torque in the current version, as far as I can see. I do not see a way to use TorqueInstance instead of the static Torque object. This has its reason that Torque is intended to be a standalone component, and the avalon part is just an addon. Of course you can provide your own implementation of TorqueInstance instance by using the Torque.setTorqueInstance method, and thus override the getDataSourceFactory() part. I cannot see anything against using an own factory, but then I'm no avalon user and do not see the evil in this :-) Hope this helps. If I have been writing nonsense, perhaps Thomas V can correct me, he is using avalon himself.
