Thank you Steve. In the meantime I took a "lazy" approach, which was to create a getter/setter for the companyId parameter, and then go through a secondary initialize to set internal state based on the company Id. It just does not "feel" right because I am behaving too much like a container - I am a consumer! I will also try the context method that you described earlier. I will take your advice and listen to the list as the lifecycle extension method is fleshed out. PS: Before this new container magic for lifecycle extensions, what was the typical avalon way of initializing component runtime values? The lazy way, or the context method that you described, or something different?
