Subject: Re: [RT] Block usage


a block deployer block

Basically the block deployer will be a stand-alone application (Ant task, Maven plug-in, Eclipse plug-in, ...). Of course somebody could write a web interface for it which could be a cocoon block.

As you can see in my original message I proposed: a block deployer block, a block depoyer webapp block. Web interface and functinality should cleary be kept separately.


Having read the OSGi whitepaper but not having followed in detail the
discussion about the vision of "real blocks", I am confused now.

Aren't OSGi bundles already what Cocoon blocks want to be? "Just" package each block into a bundle with the right dependencies and deploy it into the OSGi kernel.

true for the classloading part

What am I missing?

... but there needs some work to enable the blocks:/ protocol, component management and block-aware flowscript (e.g. cocoon.blocks.blockA.myFunc())

Additionally we have to integrate Torsten's classloader to ease development and we need to work on block building and deploying.
