So basically sourcemap == routing map ? The stage itself implements the routing table and also allocates resources to each route according to some schedule/load balancing factors? If so I don't think exposing sourcemap directly is a good thing. I have attached the interface I use for my log server that shows how I set up routing tables for it. Maybe that will explain it clearer than my words ;) > My connundrum is trying to come up with a way to cleanly tie an > EventHandler to a Stage.

How about another interface "EventHandlerFactory" that is responsible for creating event handlers or something ? That way any strategy could easily be implemented by implementing a different EventHandlerFactory object. -- Cheers, Pete --------------------------------------------------- "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken."
