Hi again, The next thing I'm stuck on is database connections. Now currently there are a squad of mailets using avalon to get database connections, however we want to remove avalon dependancies from mailets, so...
do we either make db connections available through the MailetAPI or do we force mailets to make other arrangements. Assuming the first one, which I am, I don't think that we should force implementations to make db access available, it may not be appropriate for every case, therefore I'm going to assume that this is an optional feature of the API and add to mailet context the following: boolean isDatabaseConnectionProvider() and java.sql.Connection getDatabaseConnection(String datasourceName) so that mailets which require database connections can fail gracefully in containers which don't support database access. Any thoughts? d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
