Such a container can base on a Package like File_Passwd. That's correct. But looking at the Config source, I found that there is a writeInput method : this means that Config also works on files. There is even a 'preserve' parameter which is supposed to let Config know if the parameter has to be preserved when writeInput is called. BTW, this doesn't seem to be implemented yet. If I want Config to handle configuration datasource (you can call them containers if you want, I don't see the difference), I will need to change the structure of the data array. IMO, it was a design mistake in the first place to mix all the key/value pairs from different datasource into just one array ($data) without distinguishing them by their source. There is no way to know where the key/value pair comes from. How can you use a writeInput method then ? That sounds impossible. So what do you suggest ? Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
