How far does this go? Could I add things rather than override? Could I add GBeans? If changed dynamically after startup, are the new values written out at shutdown?

    I have a change ready that lets us mark certain GBean attributes
as "manageable", meaning that we expect the user be interested in
potentially overriding that value.  Then there's a service that tracks
values for some or all of these manageable attributes, currently storing
them in an XML file.  So the end result is there's a plain text file
(currently var/config/config.xml) that looks like the sample below. The
idea is that the user could change any values in there by hand if they
like, particularly for network ports that would otherwise conflict with
something running on their machine.

    I'm looking for feedback on this.  David J seemed to largely
approve but wondered whether it would be better to store separate config
files for each Configuration.  I prefer having one unified config file
because I think it's clearer and easier to edit and cust down on config
file sprawl.  Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
