Hi,

I have a couple of queries about the following topics : I did look
around, but was not able to find an answer...

* Is it possible to use the builtin JDK 1.4 XML parser instead of the
xerces parser? (this would save about 1 MB out of the Merlin
binaries). I know that the Merlin runtime is not exactly big, but this
would bring the size of the runtime down to 1.6 MB...
* We have a requirement to load 'blocks' dynamically... I had already
posted a query about how to go about this, and am able to do this now
without any issues... ..the next step is this : can I unload an
already deployed instance of the block, and deploy another version of
the same block in its place instead (implementation class has had some
changes)? I tried this out, but even though the class files in the Jar
have changed, Merlin still loads the older version of the class file,
not the one in the new Jar... ..am I missing something out? (Basically
this would give me the flexibility to replace an already deployed
instance with a completely new one - at runtime...)
* How do I pass-through commandline parameters to my application's
main block? Say, for example, I need to test my GUI client with
differing look and feels.. ..I'd typically code these as commandline
parameters that I'd check for at startup, and initialize based on the
values sent. If Merlin is going to load my application's main block,
is there anyway by which I can pass these through Merlin to the
application?

..Any pointers would be helpful...

Thanks, and Brgds,

R. Saravanan
