that is good to hear. If you can manage to commit as well to the docu where you see place to enhancement that would be awesome. I reckon you will stumble over some missing components like i18n where we can cooperate on migrating the code. Well actually i18n is not that easy since it has heaps of deps on other cocoon packages and maybe it makes sense to even rewrite the component. If we can manage to make it compatible with the old-school way of configuration we lower the barrier for people to switch from 2.1/2 to c3. Ideally the migration old-school standard component based development to c3 would be less then an hour. That would bring us back the old user base. c3 is really worth to use due to all the annotation and spring based config possibilities. Our classes can be slimed down to a couple of lines since all the manger.lookup nightmare is gone. Our current development is using a axis generated client which we initialize in spring and then injected to the class with @Autowired protected MyEndPoint myAxisEndpoint; and then in our public abstract RestResponse doGet() we can use it right away with no boilerplate code, that is so much cleaner and nicer. ...leading us back to the subject of the mail for me a big +1 (that is getting popular this days ;) )IMO a very good basket! salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler <thorsten.at.apache.org> codeBusters S.L. - web based systems <consulting, training and solutions> http://www.codebusters.es/
