If you want to validate that it understands what you're doing at a basic
level, stop changing the id and the ref, leave them alone. If that all
works with dc:Static, ok. Now change dc:Static to your custom type in
the DataConnector. Then what does it do?

And, what are you actually trying to do? "Dynamic" what? Pretty much all
the provided data connectors are "dynamic", they pull things from
databases, LDAP, scripts, etc.

Why do you actually need a custom data connector? Have you considered
just using a script?

You can also skip the entire use of Spring custom parsing code, plugging
in a schema, all of that is optional now. If you know Spring and how to
wire up classes directly in XML, I can locate the examples in the wiki
that describe doing that. It's not very pretty for most peope, but it's
less work for somebody doing a local custom connector.
