OK, I got wind of Avalon only a short while ago (after an extended period of 
holidays devoid of electronic interference I returned and found ASF piling up 
the new and interesting stuff) and I liked it a lot I should say.So I started 
reading and then I wanted something to implement the ideas and API on so...I 
ported Wiki as a set of components. Don't even begin to ask why, it's one of 
those X-file type things.
My idea was to have the entry point as a servlet (or a JSP page - JSP works 
good as a template for those familiar with the inner workings of Wiki - But now 
I found out about Velocity, and that looks better) and the whole functionality 
on a set of Avalon components (so, that would be a Block, no? ) i.e. request 
processor, page renderer, search engine, page storage.
Now, the whole concept goes like this:
I have a JSP page that loads a bean. That bean will serve as the container for 
my service, meaning it will instantiate any components, manage their lifecycle 
etc (can I do that AND use a component manager?).
I wrote this (keeping the 'Development...' document close at hand)

        DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
        Configuration sysConfig = 
builder.buildFromFile("E:/development/wiki/src/conf/avalon-wiki.xml");
        Configuration roleConfig = 
builder.buildFromFile("E:/development/wiki/src/conf/roles.xml");
        RoleManager roles = new DefaultRoleManager();

        roles.configure(roleConfig);

and I get this

    [javac] E:\development\wiki\src\gr\umbra\wiki\avalon\WikiBean.java:44: 
Method configure(org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration) not 
found in interface org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.RoleManager.
    [javac]         roles.configure(roleConfig);


using Excalibur-4.0b4 and Framework 4.0b3. Which is actually correct. The 
question is, how do I configure the RoleManager component?
Thanks.-
P.S.
If there is another list more appropriate for these questions flame me and 
point it out :))
