Hi Chris, Thanks a lot for your help and advice.
Seeking a configurable route, I decided to just use my handler's configuration entry within the webgrid XML config file to store the data I need. I added some properties specifying hostname, webgrid context name, return type desired etc in that file. This information is easily passed to my OFSNGetHandler via the 'configure' method, so it works great. Hostname and grid context-name information may be pretty useful in general, so maybe we could make a new category of "pre-loaded" properties for OFSNHandlerConfig? Ie. create automatic property entries for hostname etc. before it is passed as a Properties object to each handler. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/trunk/product/src/main/java/org/apache/oodt/product/handlers/ofsn/OFSNHandlerConfig.java For right now though, using the configuration file works just fine.
