global vs local bonobo-conf properties

[Jeroen Zwartepoorte <Jeroen xs4all nl>]

Hi,

Global properties for a Bonobo component are pretty simple: use a
"config:/component" PropertyBag. When someone changes something, all the
instances of that component will get notified and update themselves.

For local properties (properties that only take effect in 1 application)
it is not so clear. You can't have a "config:/component/local"
PropertyBag since changes to that PropertyBag will still be propagated
to the entire system. On the other hand, creating a PropertyBag in
memory during initialization is also not good since that doesn't allow
you to save the settings.

What is the correct approach here?

Should we use a "config:/application/component" PropertyBag and let the
application update the Bonobo component? Are there any examples/design
documents about this?

Thanks,

Jeroen
