I've just started digging into Avalon and Cocoon. I've read all the docs and looked over a lot of the source code. I'm curious to know more about how you think the Monitor framework would emulate, if not override Cocoon. Could you either explain a bit or point me to packages that perform the role of monitoring now?

My first concern is having a foundation that can handle alot of what Cocoon code does manually now. Its premise is we are monitoring things that change content. I.e. if the content of a resource has changed since time X. All specific types of resources extend the Resource or StreamResource abstract classes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
