I would like to create a scratchpad area/version 5.0 proposal area in
Framework. Would we be ammendable to start creating the 5.0 area?
I would like to include the CM we had the latest really long
conversation
about. I think 99% of us are on the same page.
interface ComponentManager
{
/** throws ComponentException */
Object lookup( String role );
/** throws ComponentException */
Object lookup( String role, Object hint );
boolean exists( String role );
boolean exists( String role, Object hint );
}
That way we can have a look at and play with the interfaces until we
like them.
Also, I would like to make as many of the exceptions to be
RuntimeExceptions
as possible. We should take a look at Stefano's concern for exception
throwing.
Version 5 should include the following:
* Clean room implementation--no deprecated methods/classes
* Unified CM/SM (i.e. the interface above)
* Simplified package name
- org.apache.avalon.**** ?
- org.apache.framework.**** ?
* Container abstraction
- Meta data info
- Possible interface to have DefaultComponentManager defer all
lookups to the Container
* Standard for Version info, and how we plan on handling that.
How does this sound to everyone?
"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin
