Data Connector Depending on Attributes

I’d gotten the Java objects themselves stringificated in logs, and that was obviously wrong.  I could have sworn I had that at one point, but I’ll give it another shot as soon as I get the chance and I’ll report back to the list.

I had (mis-?)recalled an ancient message by Chad that said that data connectors were, from the point of view of a dependent part of the resolver, conceptually just big bags of attribute definitions.  I hadn’t realized how important the “view of the depender” part was until your message, though.

Thanks,
Nate.
