If you want to add functionality to existing core components (such as JaxpParser and TraxTransformer), please take advantage of the "hasComponent" method on the ComponentManager before requesting the Component.
I fixed the unnecessary requirement of the Deli jar for runtime systems by changing part of the compose method like this: void compose(ComponentManager manager) { // ... skip other stuff if (manager.hasComponent(Deli.ROLE)) { this.deli = (Deli) manager.lookup(Deli.ROLE); } } This also allows the entry to stay in the RoleManager. -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
