OJB 1.0 to 1.1 Migration Experience

[Vadim Gritsenko]

Hi All,
Here is my OJB 1.0 to 1.1 migration experience on one of the Cocoon based, 
PersistenceBroker apps. I had no much knowledge on what has changed in OJB 1.1 
so thanks to Thomas for some help here.

Following modifications has been done in order to run an app under OJB 1.1:
  * New Logger Constructor.
    OJB now requires presense of Logger(String, LoggingConfiguration)
    constructor in every logger implementation. Previously, it used
    Logger(String) constructor. Added new constructor [1].
  * Modified ConnectionFactory Interface, New Constructor.
    OJB now requires presense of ConnectionFactory(JdbcConnectionDescriptor)
    constructor in every ConnectionFactory implementation. ConnectionFactory
    interface method signatures changed too. Two new methods added.
    It was possible to implement ConnectionFactory in such a way so that
    both OJB 1.0 and 1.1 are happy [2].
  * Changes in OJB.properties.
    Following properties values has been modified:
      * IndirectionHandlerClass:
        IndirectionHandlerDefaultImpl is gone, replaced with
        IndirectionHandlerCGLIBImpl.
      * LockManagerClass
        Package name changed from o.a.o.odmg to o.a.o.broker.
      * LockMapClass
        InMemoryLockMapImpl renamed to LockMapInMemoryImpl.
      * PersistenceFieldClass
        PersistentFieldDirectAccessImplNew is gone, replaced with
        PersistentFieldDirectImpl.
    Following new properties has been added:
      * ProxyFactoryClass
        org.apache.ojb.broker.core.proxy.ProxyFactoryCGLIBImpl
      * LocalCacheClass
        org.apache.ojb.broker.cache.LocalCache
      * OdmgLockManagerClass
        org.apache.ojb.odmg.locking.LockManagerDefaultImpl
    Following old properties has been removed:
      * ConnectionFactoryClass
      * ObjectCacheClass
      * descriptorBasedCaches
   * Changes in repository_database.xml
     Added <connection-factory/> element (replacing
     ConnectionFactoryClass property).
After these changes, app seems to start up Ok and appears to be working as 
before. I did not do any serious testing with OJB 1.1 (yet).

Regards,
Vadim
