Proposal for Configuration Change Ready!

[EP...@upstate.com]

Hi all,

In CVS in /proposals/epugh/compositeconfiguration are the various classes,
testcases, and supporting files needed for the integration of a
CompositeConfiguration that allows us to pull configuration data from
multiple locations.

I have upgraded it to work with CVS head as of 03/22/03.  I would really
like to get this committed as I have a lot of projects that would benefit
from being able to get properties from JNDI, XML, and .props files all via
Turbine.getConfiguration()!

Please review the testcases and make any suggestions you have.

Sincerely,
Eric Pugh

Okay, that sounds like a plan.  Basically, since most of the code is in the
c.c ConfigurationFactory.  Hopefully all that will need to go into the
proposals/ directory is the change to Turbine.java (maybe) and some unit
tests.

I don't like an inflation of lots of small configuration files. In the end
you will get confused where to configure what. 

I'd propose that you go on and put your turbine-related stuff into the
proposals/ directory so we can check out and let it incubate there
until it is stable. Then we can move it in.
