&gt;&gt;As I was putting together a prototype this weekend, I realized that we

&gt;the way this was done in linux is instructive. modules are initialized
&gt;much like executables, i.e.
&gt;
&gt;/sbin/insmod 3c509.o io=0x300
&gt;
&gt;(I'm sure you know this, I'm just being rhetorical.) this seems a useful
&gt;paradigm (modules in Perl are also amenable to this sort of treatment). As
I
&gt;mentioned, the system I built a couple years ago used a text config file
&gt;for just this purpose. I like your proposal much better though for runtime
&gt;configuration.


One might consider looking at ACE,
<A  HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html</A>, which was brought up briefly on
the list some months ago.

They have a 'ServiceConfigurator' class that does some of what you are
discussing here.  Lots of other interesting pieces of work in ACE and lots
of papers written by Douglas Schmidt about it.
