I added a new package in Excalibur that will be used for monitoring resources. There will be two monitors: passive and active. The passive monitor will rely on the Resources themselves to keep up to synch. This is not that exciting, but easy to write. The second is an Active Monitor. The Active Monitor will issue one or more threads to examine the group of resources based on the policies used. When a Resource has changed, it will propogate that change to all PropertyChangeListeners examining the resource.
This opens up a whole new realm to the Caching implementation, which can confidently serve old content until it is told there is new information. In fact, it can continue to serve the older content until the new information is loaded into the cache. All this comming soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
