-------------------------------------

[~mattsicker] Is this now possible with the dependency injection system?

> I was looking into creating a ConfigurationFactory/Builder that is backed by a Clojure DSL. It works rather beautifully until I tried to create a filter that is backed by a Clojure function. There is literally  no way to pass arbitrary objects into a PluginFactory. All component values and attributes are assumed to be Strings.
> {code:java}
> (configuration
>   (appender "stdout" "CONSOLE"
>     (layout "PatternLayout"
>       (attribute "pattern" "%d [%t] %-5level: %msg%n"))
>     (filter "ClojureFilter"
>       ;; This LoC doesn't work: addAttribute(key, value)
>       ;; will store the toString() of the value. Bummer.
>       ;; I'd the so easy and beautiful if it didn't.
>       (attribute "fn" (fn [logger & more] (println logger)))))
>   
>   (logger "TestLogger" Level/INFO
>     (appender-ref "rolling")
>     (attribute "additivity" false))
>   (root-logger Level/DEBUG 
>     (appender-ref "rolling")))
> {code}
> {code:java}
> @Plugin(name = "ClojureFilter", category = Node.CATEGORY, elementType = Filter.ELEMENT_TYPE, printObject = true)

>       @PluginAttribute("fn") IFn fn, ...) {
