Hi all... I'm a little confused about a few things, and I'm hoping someone can clear some things up for me.
Can two containers that use the same component? Specifically, can I have two components that use the same JdbcDataSource? I would assume so, but what does it mean to release the component? Is this because ExcaliburComponentManager does some sort of reference counting for resource management or something? It seems odd to have to hold on to a reference to the container so that I can release the component. The syntax is container.release(component), right? For example, in the case where I'm accessing a component through a ComponentSelector, I have to hold on to the ComponentSelector just so I can release the component, and hold on to the ComponentManager, just so that I can release the ComponentSelector. I guess I don't really have a question here and just want confirmation that I'm doing things correctly. Question 2: I'm currently only using the JdbcDataSource and one custom Component within the Avalon framework, and I'm trying to integrate them into the rest of my application. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried to do something similar, or does everyone just develop with the Avalon framework from the ground up? I'm currently trying to write an Adaptor class that gives me a hook to ExcaliburComponentManager so that I can directly access Components. The Adaptor only has one method: getComponent. Unfortunately, I don't think I can guarantee that the ComponentManager will be disposed properly since I'd just rely on the Adaptor's finalize method to do the job. Am I going about this correctly, or am I completely off base? Thanks, -Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
