That's fine and good. I am just arguing that some interface abstraction (in
both
directions) would be a good way to build a generic configuration manager. Doing
it thru corba would help on the multi-lang part, and also allow a really
neat way
to tie application configurations together in one place (steroid Control
Panel).
The implementation method behind it (LDAP/Text/DB/SQL/INI/OpenDirectory/
Pencil and Paper) would be abstracted, so the program doesnt have to worry
about it.
