Accessing arbitrary rosparam namespaces in Orocos/RTT
The current rtt_ros_integration (2.5/Electric) only allows RTT components to get/set rosparam params in the namespace corresponding to the name of the component. I could see how this might be desirable to enforce synchronization between rosparam and the component properties, but if I want several components to pull something like an URDF off of the parameter server, it means I need to load it each time. This clutters both the parameter server and launchfiles. Is this a design decision or would a patch be welcomed to enable something like:
loadService("my_component","rosparam")
my_component.rosparam.refreshProperties("/some/arbitrary/namespace")
