|PATCH] Re: Proposal for globals in conf files ?

[Eisert, Wolfram (ext.)]

Hi all,

attached is a patch to add attributes from the configuration
file to the context of ExcaliburComponentManager.

Regarding to
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=avalon-dev&m=101439200608340&w=2
I have extented ECM to read a <context/>-section out of the config-file
and add it to the current context.

The context-section should look like

<context>
     <!-- Adding a String-Attribute -->
     <entry name="attribute-name" value="attribute-value"/>

     <!-- Adding a specified Object-type with default constructor -->
     <entry name="attribute-name" type="classname"/>

     <!-- Adding a specified Object-type with String-constructor -->
     <entry name="attribute-name" value="attribute-value" type="classname"/>

     <!-- Adding a specified Object-type (with multiple-value-constructor)
-->
     <entry name="attribute-name" type="classname">
         <!-- Constructur-Value String -->
         <parameter value="constructor-value">
         <!-- Constructur-Value specified Object-type with default
constructor -->
         <parameter type="classname">
         <!-- Constructur-Value specified Object-type or primitve with
String constructor -->
         <parameter type="classname or primitve" value="contructor-value">
     </entry>
</context>

In the value-attributes you can refer to already existing context-attributes
through ${context-attribute}.

I.e.
<contex>
    <entry name="version" value="2.0"/>
    <entry name="release-info" type="java.io.File">
        <parameter value="/usr/local/doc/${version}/release.html"/>
    </entry>
</context>


What do you think?
