Given your probleme, symbols seems ,to really be the solution.
The way i understand them hivemind symbols can be used in two way :
-like old symbols on makefile ( to define let's say a directory at
only one place in the module and use the symbol everywhere else)
- to defining attribute or object (or even implementation ) at run time.
To this you have first to create a class that implements the interface:
public class Configurator implements SymbolSource
{
public String valueForSymbol(String symbol)
{
...
}
}
And then you have to say to hivemind, through the hivemodule.xml, taht
a new sources for symbol is born :
<contribution configuration-id="hivemind.SymbolSources">
<source name="configurator"
class="user.implementation.Configurator"/>
</contribution>
Then, when you'll ask hivemind for something that implies a symbol it'll call
the 'valueForSymbol()' with the string contained in the ${...} and replace it.
I hope I respond to your question.
