[Babeldoc-devel] Config discovery

[Ken G. <kg...@sp...>]

Hi.  My name's Ken, and I'm going to be working with Babeldoc a lot in 
the coming months.  I hope I can contribute here.

The first thing I was planning to do was rewrite ConfigService to use 
the Jakarta Commons Discovery package.  If you're not familiar,

"Discovery improves over previous implementations by establishing 
facilities for working within managed environments. These allow 
configuration and property overrides without appealing to the global 
System properties (which are scoped across an entire JVM)."

Since I am using Babeldoc in JBoss, this appeals to me.  I want to 
change the ConfigService without setting a system property.  I'm also 
going to try to make an IConfigService implementation that uses a JBoss 
sar file the same way that LightConfigService uses the classpath.

I'll keep you posted, and I'm sure to have some questions.  I'd be glad 
to donate code as well.
