Hi! I have just subscribed to this list, so please be gentle. ;-)
I am trying to build a portal server like app engine application (inspired by JSR168/286) as an open source project. In the last few weeks, I was playing around a lot with different aspects like request dispatching to allow modular output generation in the "modules" and a few other areas related to the task... These modules should be as protected from one another as possible and it would be very neat if you could reload/update modules without redeploying the portal. While I was reading the documentation about JCL, I got the idea that it may be possible to load classes/resources/jar-files from the datastore and provide a simple classloader interface to be as compatible with other libraries as possible. Do you think that this would work? I don't want to run 2 weeks in the wrong direction and I was hoping that someone here has some insight. Another advantage that I see is that this would circumvent the 10MB limit for the deployed war file, which may become a problem when you're trying to build a big/complicated portal with lots of modules. BTW: If someone is interested to participate, feel free to contact me. The project is still in a very early stage, so you have the chance to influence the project in more or less all areas. Thanks in advance! -- Bye, Patrick Cornelissen http://www.openprojectguide.org http://www.pcornelissen.de http://code.google.com/p/gloudy/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
