> The main goal here is to allow the attribute store (especially config.xml) to control which gbeans and configurations are started.  Here are some steps and partial goals:
> 1. Modify the configuration loading process so it is more under the control of ConfigurationManagerImpl and so the set of gbeans to be loaded in a configuration can be modified by the attribute store.
> 2. Add an attribute to the schema so gbeans defined in the serialzed configuration state may be prevented from being loaded.
> 3. Add an attribute to the schema so configurations can be prevented from loading.  This will make it possible to use the attribute store also as a persistent configuration list.
> 4. (needs research) Allow additional gbeans to be created from information in the attribute store.  This is somewhat controversial and the exact limits for this capability need further discussion.  In particular we may want to make some configurations inextensible and we may want to  (possibly just for the moment) limit ourselves to gbeans that have only simple attributes.
