sure, youre right! MyComponent now can get the dep1 and dep2 from the ServiceManager, but what if i want a user to edit the block.xml and not the source code and the .xinfo files? so he can add a new Component from MyService and declare a new dependency with key="dep3". but in the service method from MyComponent this dependency will never be fulfilled. so there is no chance to style it variable!?

They don't have the same key. What you specify in the source code is just a default. If you declare the component with a name, this will be it's name, not the one specified in the code (xinfo). The same goes for dependencies: <component name="c3" class="MyService"/> <component name="c4" class="MyService"/> <component name="c2" class="MyComponent"> <dependencies> <dependency key="dep1" source="c3"/> <dependency key="dep2" source="c4"/> </dependencies> </component> Now, c2 will find c3 as dep1 and c4 as dep2 in the ServiceManager, regardless of what name you specified in the source code of MyService. cu & HTH, Raffi -- The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference, but in practice, there is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
