Read some of the avalon documentation. program-generator is a name of a predefined role for cocoon, from the org/apache/cocoon/cocoon.roles file. The child elements of program-generator are passed into the component via a parameters object. > 2) Is "component-instance" of your example the string "component-instance" > or can one choose a descriptive element name? You have to use component-instance, if you do not create your own roles file. if you create your own roles file, you can use the shorthand as the element name. > 3) And will that class then be provided to every composed component by > cocoon? yes. > 4) Is the component automagically configured with the stuff contained by > the element in the cocoon.xconf? If your component implements the Configurable interface, then yes, it is passed a Configuration object that you can use to configure your component. -pete -- peter royal -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
