I figured it would be tricky! One nice feature of Merlin is the isolation of the components really, but it does create some complexivity in some cases, such as this one. > One possible solution that may work, would be to create the > console as a LifeCycle extension, as all components will "fly > by" in those hooks. Thanks for the pointer, I was thinking about this approach. Have not looked into lifecycle extensions earlier. Looked through it now, and it seems like it is necessary to tag each component (in the meta information file) for the lifecycle handler to be called. Is this the case? Then it's not really practical, because I would want the console to be able to beused in a non-intrusive manner as well as letting components implement an interface to receive command requests. / Nicolai --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
