The container would then, before calling configure(), set all ConfigurableFields in the class. Then configure() would be called, allowing the component to do whatever special configuration processing required.
You should see what Jason van Zyl did with Plexus ... he treats XML configuration data as a serialized object and uses XStream (http://xstream.codehaus.org) to de-serialize the configuration directly onto the component instance. pretty neat!
