Max Philipp Wriedt commented on TORQUE-371:
-------------------------------------------

So, I still don't quite get Avalon as the documentation is pretty old, so maybe 
someone might need to explain to me how it's used in Turbine. 
If I understand this correctly, Avalon is in general something like the Spring 
Framework?

At the time I am still getting into the concepts the Spring Framework provides 
to Java, so i would not be of much help at the time implementing it and I don't 
know about competitors of Spring. In Spring Framework Hibernate currently seems 
to be the ORM of choice. So I don't think it would be useful as replacement for 
Torque but Torque as part of Turbine might also work when replace by some 
Spring components? 
On the other hand, marketing Torque as compatible to Spring might get some 
attention to the project as spring seems to be a de-facto standard in java 
development?

At my job I am currently trying to take a more than 20 years old Torque 
Integration to the web (rest-api/jakarta-rs) using whatever i need (which seems 
to be some parts of Spring at this time, but we are still starting). Maybe the 
experience gain will help here in the future.

Another thing i would like to suggest/open for discussion: switching torque 
from svn to git (as dbcp and pool are there already) -> should i open an 
issue/improvement for that, or is the dev mailing list the way to go?
