Well, I know we don't change container implementations all that often :) so perhaps this is a bit academic - but this was what I was hoping to avoid. It could also be that the inheritance method currently used now is not possible with a future container. > We could also implement a delegation to the real container, but I don't > see a real need for this as changing the container implementation > is due to different feature sets not possible. Delegation would be good - then we'd be operating through the ComponentManager (or ServiceManager or similar) interface right ? Not sure if I fully understand your last sentence though mate - do mean it's not possible to change containers in Cocoon at all due to some other reasons ?
