You can grab nightlies for cornerstone from http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-avalon It would be good to do a release and most of it is stable (and has been in production for ~3 years). Some is not and we would have to extract it out. It just takes time that no one has gotten around to doing it yet ;) > >>2.

No idea. I believe NIO would lead to different design patterns and thus ConnectionManager is probably not appropriate - more likely you would want a single-threaded or event driven architecture. I am not sure how uptodate cornerstone.silk is - you may want to ask Berin as he was the author of it. -- Cheers, Peter Donald --------------------------------------------------------- Clarke's Third Law: "Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced". --------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
