It would be nice to feed the XML configuration files using an InputStream instead of a file, for example in the case the XML is saved in a database or fetched by a WEB Service.
Is it a big issue ?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is an interesting enhancement. However, how would resource bundles, included configuration files, etc. be handled? If the originating config didn't have those, then it should be fairly easy to perform. However, if it does, then it'll be tricky to support. Any suggestions (i.e. some kind of plug-in mechanism?)?

I think that even basic support (i.e. without resolution of external resources) would be great.
