Yes, it's possible to do this.  Instead of parseResourceSpecifier,
call parseCollectionReaderDescription.  Then you can call methods on
the CollectionReaderDescription object to change the parameter values.
 Effectively you're overriding the values that were in the descriptor,
before instantiating your component.  The methods to do this are
something like:

collectionReaderDescription.getCollectionReaderMetaData().getConfigurationParameterSettings().setParameterValue(name,value)

But I didn't test that so I might have gotten it slightly wrong.
