I moved it across to Merlin last week but Berin moved it back. So I've
not put in place a parrallel version in both Excalibur and Merlin trees.
The issue is that all of the facilities in the config package are
independent of Merlin - Merlin uses then, so does the OpenORB project.
Should they do under Merlin or should they stay under Exclibur?
Here is a summary of the config classes:
1. CascadingConfiguration
Provides support for the creation of a configuration chain
that allows the introduction of additional or different
configuration information in the same way context classes
are managed.
2. ConfigurationUtil
Provides general configuration related utilities:
list - generates a string representation of a
configuration (useful when developing)
match - supports selection of children based
on the value of an attribute - supports
resolution of multiple matches and
first occurance match
3. ContextFactory
Provides support for the creation of a context
instance based on a configuration.
E.g.:
<context>
<entry name="color" value="pink"/>
<entry name="file" value="pink.xml" type="java.io.File"/>
</context>
Also support creation of context using a particular
context implementation class - and context values for
types that take multipe typed arguements.
My personal prefgerence is to keep in in Excalibur, but its not a
big issue.
Cheers, Steve.
