Hi Carsten

Simplifying sounds a good idea. 

However I have a question - apologies in advance about my ignorance of the
avalon lifecycle - if the deli component fails sometime during the
contextualize / compose / parameterize / initalize phase, does this mean the
check
 if (this.manager.hasComponent(Deli.ROLE)) 
will be false i.e. the DELI component only become available after
initialize? If so perhaps there is an argument for keeping the check in
DeliTransformer.java?

I have a question BTW - in sitemap, how do I call the DeliTransformer rather
than the TraxTransformer?

thanks, sorry about the delay in replying but I'm in Boston
