HI, as you all know, some time ago we decided to move some of the general components to Avalon Excalibur. The first components now finished (hopefully) in avalon are the parser abstraction and a new source handling.
The question is now, how to reintegrate these new components? The interface have - of course - changed. First, there are new package names and second some methods were changed, added etc. So, as expected, this has the problem that the (re)integration is not so easy. As a first running component, I would like to use the "new" parser abstraction. I see 2 possibilities to integrate it: The first step would always be the same: Declaring a new role "xml-parser" which is implemented by the avalon version and change every use in cocoon from "parser" to "xml-parser". and then: a) Leaving the "parser" role as it is for compatibility and deprecating it. b) Changing the implementation for parser, so that it actually uses the "xml-parser". This would result in the same interface but of course in the lookup of two components if a parser is required. The advantage of b) is, that each component using the old "parser" role automatically gets the new "xml-parser" (wrapped by the old one). I'm +1 on a). Comments?
