We (at Avalon) will provide you with it. I agree that you need to get
2.1 out the door. No issues with that. In the mean time, while you
take care of Cocoon 2.1, we will be preparing for the release of
Fortress 1.0. That process will require the release of all the packages
it relies on before hand. That release includes documentation,
testcases, etc. The Documentation has four main focuses: What (is it?),
When (to use it), Why (it was developed), and How (to use it). The
first of such releases will occur soon (for the Event Package).
Looking forward to the Fortress release, here is what you can expect:
* One big jar with all of its dependencies included.
* ANT and utility class enabled migration of ECM RoleManager config
files to Fortress Config files.
* ANT and utility class enabled migration of ECM configuration files
to Fortress Config files.
* Easier migration from *needing* a ComponentSelector to not needing
one.
* Faster execution and more efficient pool management. NO NEED TO
EXPLICITLY SET POOL SIZES!!!
* An additional lifestyle: per-thread. That means each thread of
execution has its own component, which is shared with any component
requesting it. It works really nicely in Servlet environments...
* Good documentation
* Well tested environment.
* Ability to extend and create your own containers with relative ease.
The only things left in this list is the conversion utilities, and
documentation. There might be a couple more testcases to write, but
the system has been thoroughly tested.
