sounds ok to me.

They don't talk to each other, other other than at the application level. If
you want to have a node read it's configuration from the domain you can use
the
following factory method.
public abstract SCANode2 createSCANode(String configurationURI);
and provide the URI of the configuration that you want it to read. e.g.
node = factory.createSCANode("http://localhost:9990/node-image/NodeA";);
This URL is provided by the domain and is tailored specifically to provide
just the right configuration (the list of composite and contribution URLs)
for the node in question. NodeA in this case.
