Ok folks, based on discussions from earlier today, I've just checked in a
new and improved ObjectRepositoryAssembler. Here's the commit comments:

--------------------------------
<b>csc_062003.1</b> - Pretty significant upgrade of
ObjectRepositoryAssembler, per extensive  discussion on the email list.
<object> tag now supprts name='$this'; <method> tags can now return values,
using the return="" attribute; and static methods on classes with no public
constructors can now be invoked. In short, I think everything you want can
now be done Jake :-)

Note that I also upgraded the way we obtain an instance of the parser to
follow the Sun convention (per Sun's JDK 1.4 and discussion with Shawn).
Also note that the javadocs and comments in ObjectRepositoryAssembler are
all up-to-date, and I have expanded the object repository.xml to better
illustrate all the various possibilities. Finally, please notice that the
test case (TestObjectRepositoryAssembler) has been improved to verify all
the new funcitonality works. Woo hoo! Way cool! :-)
--------------------------------

Jake, you want to update from cvs and give it a shot? Anybody who wants to
know more about the ObjectRepositoryAssembler, please take a look at the
javadocs for this class in conjunction with the sample object-repository.xml
that is found in WEB-INF.

If you update from cvs, you are going to need to do a superclean in order to
get the new and improved object-repository.xml...

Questions or comments welcome...
