Hi Aron, The ability to configure a Component using an XML document is already available in standalone mode. Therefore you can use it with the Simple connector.
However, the current mechanism isn't dynamic, you would have to recreated the Component instance each time you modify the XML config to take the changes into account.

This is exciting news! Two questions: 1. We're looking for the ability to allow contributors to our projects to 'drop in' a folder containing their own resource and business object classes, and allow us to integrate their "drop-ins" through external configuration alone, with no other code changes required. How far does this new feature take us towards that goal? (The specific use case is a calendar event data application, where contributors could add support for accessing new types of repositories of calendar events; e.g. Exchange and SharePoint servers, Dean Evans & Associates EMS repositories, and so on, to the core repositories we've already defined.) 2. Does this also work with the Simple framework and built-in Restlet server connectors? (To the best of my recollection, Simple, at least, doesn't require a WEB-INF directory.) Aron
