Fortress allows us to do a number of really cool things that are not available in the ECM. One of them is to no longer require the accursed "Roles" file. Adding new user components to Cocoon and having the configuration able to use those components directly is just as simple as including the new JAR in the classpath.
Startup times can be optimized as much as possible either by using asyncronous component startup or by using request based startup. To top it off, you also have early warning in case there is some circular component dependency.
Sounds great!
It will require some code changes to some parts of Cocoon, namely the Sitemap and the core Cocoon component.
I would like to help with the upgrade, but I don't want to upset any near releases that might be pending.
Can we delay this until the 2.1 final release? I hope we can get 2.1 out real soon now (see next mail).
That's why I asked.
