Hi all, I'd like to override getCocoon method in CocoonServlet in order to allow another subsystem than the servlet create and manage Cocoon. This so that the same Cocoon instance can be shared among different clients adapting different protocols. More specifically I want to be able to have Cocoon hosted as a component in some Avalon container, have a servlet running inside the container provide access to it over HTTP, and have other clients (eg. a mailet) provide access to it over other protocols (eg. SMTP).
But as it is now CocoonServlet.getCocoon() has private access, hence this request to make it protected instead. My implementation would be a small wrapper around Cocoon so as to load it in as a component in an Avalon container, and then make the servlet Serviceable so as to be able to look it up from the provided ServiceManager. If there is any interest in this I will provide a patch. Regards, Unico
