##    + added two more GUI modules to default registry initiation,
##       relating to new navigation module 'NavigationTree'
##    + added prepartion of needed args for abstract navigation tree
##       and concret UserManagment 'UMnav' tree
##
##    Revision 1.19  2003/04/18 16:21:37  joko
##    fixed commit comment - the last one caused a syntax error!!!
##
##    Revision 1.18  2003/04/18 15:27:06  joko
##    NEW: XML Trees in data area
##      new ecom module: DataTree
##      introduced new query argument: 'filter' (purpose: xml/tree filtering)
##        $filter = array(
##          dotted => $val['ecom_data_filter'],
##          ident => $val['ecom_data_ident'],
##        );
##        A Data::Lift module translates this filter-query into a XPath-query ...
##        $filter = array(
##          xpq => '*\/*[@name="cli"]',
##        );
##        ... which finally is propagated to the backend.
##    NEW: AbstractExplorer - standalone version
##      enhanced set_e_state: now can overwrite internal state to arguments from outside
##      enhanced get_com: also capable of propagating additional args through _load_ecom to _prepare_component_args
##      enhanced _prepare_component_args: now able to dispatch to a "transparent navigation ecom" (e.g. YAA::JobGroups)
##    MISC:
##      added some pre-flight checks throughout the module, especially at the core dispatcher inside _prepare_component_args
##      error checking: added some more croaks via 'user_error'
##      cosmetic updates
##
##    Revision 1.17  2003/04/18 13:46:15  jonen
##    + add hidden elements(items) now to the constructor arguments of each ecom
