Serge, As an Avalon advocate, who has none of the problems you mention before, I think I should offer my help. Your cry for help is heard.
At the risk of contradicting you, Avalon comps have been released : - http://freshmeat.net/projects/avalon/?topic_id=810 Avalon-Cornerstone has not. Avalon-Phoenix is currently shipping a beta. Regards, - Paul H > I don't know if I can take much more of Avalon. I've lost so much > interest in working on James because of the problems that arise from > using Avalon, and am nearing my last straw this afternoon. > > The latest problem with our use of Avalon is that if you have any open > connections when you try to stop the JVM, it hangs and has to be > forcibly stopped. I thought the whole reason behind migrating to > Avalon was so that we didn't have to deal with underlying threading, > configuration, object pooling, database sources, connection handling, > logging, and other server related issues.

Or maybe just branch the code, import it into James so we > can gain control over our project again? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
