Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I have all the unit tests passing for using the Merlinized Fulcrum components! That means that currently in Turbine 2.4 we are loading the Cache, Crypto, Intake, Localization, Factory, and Mimetype services as components using Merlin.
This also includes loading components that rely on components. For instance, Intake relies on the Localization component loading first. While I haven't done much performance testing, things seem very rapid. And the additional lifecyle abilities of Merlin over ECM should be worth a lot. At this point the only big Merlinized Fulcrum component to integrate is the Factory component. After that, there are a couple other components we could integrate including: Configuration Component We could leverage Merlin to load up the commons-configuration component versus doing it manually within Turbine. Security Component In Fulcrum is a vastly changed (and I hope improved) security component. However it does need more work to fit the 'traditional' Turbine model. I am thinking that I might just move the current Torque based implementation which is into /extensions/torque into a project called /extensions/torque-security and /extensions/ldap-security and only leave the interfaces in the turbine core. Then add the appropriate adapters to use this code with the fulcrum code. That way existing users can use the existing torque based security and then be able to migrate to fulcrum Security if they want. Scheduler Component Scheduler seems like it should be screaming out to be a Fulcrum component. However, I don't use it, I use Jcrontab or Quartz as I don't want the Torque dependencies. So, since the torque aspects of it where broken out into a seperate /extensions project called torque, what I think should be done is create a /extensions/scheduler project and put all the scheduler code there, removing all of that from Turbine's core. Feedback? Other items for 2.4? The only other things I can think of is ditching the TDK and replacing it with the Workflow Example app I wrote for Fulcrum OSWorkflow that does a good demo of Turbine... I am hot to get 2.4 done in the next couple months or so. I am going to be pushing on finishing Merlin Integration and getting Fulcrum 1.0 releases for all the components done as soon as possible.
