Hi, With all the great developments in Merlin lately, you guys must be busy, so I'll be brief.
If I've not misunderstood, a block is a composition of components, which can expose the service interfaces of those contained compoennts, and a component has lifestyle. As a block is a specialisation of component (or more strictly, appliance) - what is the lifestyle for a block? - can I define the lifestyle for a block in the block.xml? E.g. If a block is implemented by containing thread-safe components, then I would like to define the block's lifestyle as "thread". If the block is implemented with (say) singleton components then, the block has a singleton lifestyle. I guess a default of "transient" would work for all cases, but the other lifestyles will avoid unnecessary creation of extra instances. Thanks for any insight!
