I'm a bit confused with protocolStackConfiguration and protocolStackConfigurations. On one side, you mention that a Channel will expose a Channel protocolStackConfiguration. Wouldn't it make more sense for stackName to be part of it rather than be a different attribute? And protocolStackConfigurations property? Is a property of a Channel? I guess not. If anything, this sounds like a property of the channel factory but then again, why have that property and then individual Channels via the ChannelFactory MO? Finally, would it make sense to add a coordinator attribute to View indicating which node is the coordinator? Or are we assuming the 1st node in the view is always the coordinator?
