Convention:

- Factories at subpackage org.apache.catalina.core.storeconfig.xxxSF .
- Element name are the unique Class name
- SF for StoreFactory
- standard implementation is false

other things:

- Registry XML format is a very good option
- Store format is not fix
- We hope with the parent declaration we can build recursive child store operation //dream
- Problem is to access child data from array,collections or normal detail object
- Default definitions for Listener, Valve Resource? - Based on interface type!
