Hi folks - Would like to get others thoughts on this... 

We produce a Flex-based product that is an add-on to salesforce.com.
We're constantly adding more configuration options to the product to
support the wide array of customers needs and salesforce.com
configurations. Up until now we've been using a customer-specific xml
file to drive options. But this is currently limited to things like
what fields we should pull from the database, what groupings to use in
calculations, etc. So basically it's data-based configuration. We're
starting to see now that we need *logic-based* configuration. So we
would like to have an entire screen be templated, not just from the
data items but from the logic too. So we're thinking of some kind of
plugin architecture, but I thought I'd see what others are doing to
solve this need. Have you create plugin modules per customer? Do you
have elaborate configuration files that express logic as well as data? 

Hopefully this post isn't too vague for you all to provide some thoughts.

Ryan
