Hi Thinking of clarifying this point: Turbine actually can be use without the activation of its database features.
I have built my website (http://www.webappcabaret.com/mallim) based on Turbine/Velocity/DOM4J as a way to integrate my blogging which are in the form of XML files. In this case, a couple of pull tools and several services ( pull, logging, velocity, FSD etc ), plays a huge part at the whole website. Well, you can say that this is an unorthodox usage of Turbine. But it still demonstrates that Turbine could be use without database persistence. BTW, do I need to have any permission to copy and paste some of the comments from this mailling list to my blog? It serves as my reference and perhaps can be helpful to some other people who is looking into subjects like XP, AgileModelling, JUnit Turbine and Castor.
