I propose we use the word 'Locus' instead of 'Site'. This word doesn't have a lot of connotations in the web programming world, and people can guess by simply looking at the word it might have something to do with *local* components. It's also short.
I don't see short as a very important quality here. It is not a name you have to type in often, so I would prefer something more descriptive. How about "componentroot" or "componentcontainer"..
I do find short an important quality here, because I find myself typing "getSite()" frequently, and in tests, "setSite" as well. It's also something one talks about.
People also talk about www which is horrible to pronounce in English :)
A site isn't a container, I'll note. A site is something that has local components registered but doesn't need to be implemented as a container at all.
A site contains component registraties and possible persistent components. That makes it a container to me. Perhaps componentRegistry works better for you? Wichert. -- Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net> It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple.
