Functionality Questions

Hello!

I was wondering if any development/exploration has been done in
advanced querying and persisting changes to component contexts made at
runtime. Let me give some background on what I'm trying to do.

I would like to use SmartFrog as the basis for "catalogs" containing
information about applications. For example, the catalog might contain
information about how to access a particular application (e.g a host
and port). Given the dynamic nature of the environment, these values
might change during the life of the application.

So there are two things I need to support for this functionality. The
first is some advanced querying to find components which contain some
attributes. For example, I may need to report all on applications
residing on a particular host. In addition, some data might be longer
lived than the interface information described above. An example of
this might be owner information about a particular application. This
data might infrequently change at runtime. But these changes need to
be persisted in some manner.

Any pointers you could give on supporting these two tasks would be
immensely appreciated. Thanks!

Best Regards,
