Hi Berin, > Do you have an older version of ECM in your classpath somewhere? That > *used* to be how hasComponent() was implemented--but that has changed.
Its sad but true. I used the right version for compiling, etc. But Phoenix redefined the extension class path in its run.sh-script!!! Now it all makes much more sense. :-))) Thanks alot for the hint! But I do have new questions now: I would like a composable to pass some objects to its subcomponents. I always thought this would be what a Context is good for. But there doesn't seem to be any way to fill the context when a component manager is used. In the Composable interface I miss a method like: void setContext(String role, Context context); This method could be called by the component manager automatically and everything would be fine. Is there any other way to give objects to subcomponents (preferably before they are started)? How could I create a "component network" like this: subComponent1 / \ masterComponent subSubComponent \ / subComponent2 Any help would be appreciated.
