Disagree - a configuration is an object model that provides access to 
basic types (Strings, booleans, long, int, etc.).  It has no support for 
complex types (e.g. java.io.File).  A context object created using 
directives prepared by an assembler can contain directives for the 
creation of basic AND complex types (see earlier example and 
ContextFactory source). I can write directives for creation of objects 
with multiple argument constructors - which basically means that minimal 
effort is needed.

Cheers, Steve.
