Hi Andre!

It is actually possible to import beans etc from other files.
See
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/beans.html#beans-basics
Section 3.2.2.1. Composing XML-based configuration metadata
You would write something like:
<import resource="classpath://services.xml"/>
Do you mean that this should be put inside
META-INF/cocoon/spring/someContext.xml? That is what would make sense to me.
Yes, exactly.
The service.xml would then sit in your standalone jar which can
therefore also be tested outside of cocoon and can also be used in other
environments than cocoon (as if there is anything else worth
considering...). The services.xml would define beans, transactions, etc
in the regular way. I have typically a few of includes.
Other beans you have made yourself that are typical to cocoon would be
defined in xml files placed in the designated subdirectories
(META-INF/cocoon/spring.)
You still need to include a dependency in the pom of each block that
uses your domain jar, because you would need the jar for deployment. The
issue that remains to be looked into is that a number of blocks may
require the same setup for transactions. The definitions for this
probably would need to be defined globally.
This is a bit condusing to me, because I would define my transactions inside my
domain-model-appCtx and let cocoon-controller (e.g. flowscript) transparently
use them. So there already are 'global' defined transactions.
Sorry, I was apparently not clear. I use facades that sit on top of the
domain layer. My flow scripts just deal with these facades. These
facades are made transaction aware. You do exactly the same. Currently,
I have just one spring conf file (in the jar) that defines the
transaction management for the domain. I am just not entirely clear
whether the transactions are truly global or just local within a block.
If they are local than I would need to include the same transaction
definitions in a number of blocks. If they are truly global, than just
one block would need to include the transactions, I presume.
Greetings,
Patrick
