In the last days I converted our FileGenerator from an Avalon based component to a spring managed bean. With spring we have the advantage that we don't need a special GeneratorFactory interface anymore. Spring supports several ways of instantiation which is totally transparent to the client code.
While implementing the FileGenerator I noticed a problem: how can we configure sitemap specific stuff like the label or the mime-type for spring managed beans? The current avalon implementation has a special handling for sitemap components and stores the label/mime-type information which is then later used by the tree processor. With spring we don't have such a mechanism. Has anyone a good idea how to solve this? Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler - Chief Architect http://www.s-und-n.de http://www.osoco.org/weblogs/rael/
