But since the Component will be created within the original
ComponentManager (which might be a child of others) means the
parent ComponentManager will not be aware of Components inside the
child ComponentManager(s). I'm asking if this is really desireable
in terms of re-use - even for security constraints...

Hm... AFAIU the concept in general Components are loaded when they are needed
(except for those implementing e.g. ThreadSafe - the daemon thing) But how can
this work if the ComponentManager is initializeable... Components will not be able
to be added later on when they are needed... Did the basic concept change?

Yes... but the ComponentManager cannot know about all the Components that
will be needed to load, will he? (Well, except from the RoleManager...)

Anyway - coming back to the original problem... Have you any idea what might
cause the difference if there is a repository or not?
Keeping your words in mind I wonder if the new ComponentManager inside the
AbstractSitemap lacks initialzing!?

Just throw me a bone and I'll have a look at it ;)
Thanks
