Following previous thread '[RT] Merlin Service autoassembly / plugin infrastructure', I'm going to start writing some code for merlin. So if anybody has any objections do it now before I waste too much of my time *grin*
No objections here !
The first step will be to create a service registry functionality.
This will allows merlin (at startup) to go through all the jarfiles in the respository, and find out all services and implementations of that service ( of course for performance reasons it will create an index so that it only has to do it once ).
That will later gives the possibility to request merlin to automatically find all services that implement a certain service.
While your at it - it would be very helpful if you also index the manifest entries concerning spec and vendor. This would enable us to leverage the respository as a source for jar files matching extension jar file dependency statements. If this doesn't make a lot of sense I can put together some pointers to the relevant content in the avalon/merlin/extension package.
Cheers, Steve.
