Hi,

I would love to use a syntax like

<conditions>
 <condition name="cond1" value="i&lt;5"/>
 <condition name="cond2" class="org.domain.FileChanged"/>
</conditions>
with the ExcaliburCompoenentSelector.

<role name="org.domain.ConditionSelector"
      shorthand="conditions"
      default-class="org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.ExcaliburComponentSelector">
 <hint shorthand="condition" class="org.domain.ExpressionCondition"/>
</role>
But the ECS only allows 'component-instance' with a class attribute
or a defined element name and using the class specified the
the hint role. It is perhaps possible to change the implementation
to use the class attribute in other elements than
'component-instance'?
I attached a patch file for the ECS.

You should also look at Cocoon's ExtendedComponentSelector which allows 
this kind of features
