Well it comes down to what is intended to be pulled out from the manager. A4CM is intended to be used to pull out services while A4Context/A5CM is intended to pull out data relevent to specific environment/context/whatever. In A4CM the string is required to indicate a ROle/interface while in A4Context the key is an object. (In hindsight a free form string may have been better). A4CM = Service directory + specified key format A4Context = Data directory + unspecified object format -- Cheers, Pete ------------------------- All things considered, insanity may be the only reasonable alternative. ------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
