Re: wondering ...

Thanks, that's very helpful !=20

... as a continuation of this question, suppose I wanted to achieve a
similar functionality with picocontainer. I want to use a 'aggregated
component', which declares in the constructor it's individual
components. The methods in these individual components should operate on
state stored in the main component. Is it possible to gain access to the
state of the 'parent' component in picocontainer ? Am I confusing things
here ?!?

I am viewing the composite components as Mixins to the main aggregating
component. Then, I would like to use picocontainer as a lightweight
holder of currently running instances of the 'aggregated component'
service.=20

Which is the best path for this, nanning, picocontainer, a combination
of both ?=20

Thanks,=20
