OK, I got wind of Avalon only a short while ago (after an extended period of holidays 
devoid of electronic interference I returned and found ASF piling up the new and 
interesting stuff) and I liked it a lot I should say.So I started reading and then I 
wanted something to implement the ideas and API on so...I ported Wiki as a set of 
components. Don't even begin to ask why, it's one of those X-file type things.
My idea was to have the entry point as a servlet (or a JSP page - JSP works good as a 
template for those familiar with the inner workings of Wiki - But now I found out 
about Velocity, and that looks better) and the whole functionality on a set of Avalon 
components (so, that would be a Block, no? ) i.e. request processor, page renderer, 
search engine, page storage.
Now, the whole concept goes like this:
I have a JSP page that loads a bean. That bean will serve as the container for my 
service, meaning it will instantiate any components, manage their lifecycle etc (can I 
do that AND use a component manager?).
I wrote this (keeping the 'Development...' document close at hand)

        DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
        Configuration sysConfig = 
builder.buildFromFile("E:/development/wiki/src/conf/avalon-wiki.xml");
        Configuration roleConfig = 
builder.buildFromFile("E:/development/wiki/src/conf/roles.xml");
        RoleManager roles = new DefaultRoleManager();

        roles.configure(roleConfig);

and I get this

    [javac] E:\development\wiki\src\gr\umbra\wiki\avalon\WikiBean.java:44: Method 
configure(org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration) not found in 
interface org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.RoleManager.
    [javac]         roles.configure(roleConfig);


using Excalibur-4.0b4 and Framework 4.0b3. Which is actually correct. The question is, 
how do I configure the RoleManager component?
Thanks.-
P.S.
If there is another list more appropriate for these questions flame me and point it 
out :))
