Great work!!

You probably only need the pge-config.xml file. Dynamic metadata, and the
task configuration properties can be specified programmatically, right?

I'm not sure I understand this? If you store and record the Filename, and
FileLocation
metadata files, then you can easily retrieve the staged file path via a
SQLquery
via CAS-PGE by simply setting the FORMAT=('$FileLocation/$Filename') in
the response.
Can you comment on this?

OK, will probably need to work on this.

I see later that you got this working, so will head over and review that
now.
Thanks!
