A little behind schedule, but I've just committed an initial stab at a Java framework. It is incomplete and untested in a real container, but it should give you a feel for what I have in mind. I welcome feedback/comments/contributions. This is quickly hacked code to get us moving and almost certainly can be significantly improved. Take a look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wookie/trunk/src/org/apache/wookie/connector/framework/ and http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wookie/trunk/src-tests/org/apache/wookie/tests/connector/framework/ The tests are sparse, but do show how I intend this framework to be implemented on the host, i.e. implement AbstractWookieConnectorService (see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wookie/trunk/src-tests/org/apache/wookie/tests/connector/framework/impl/MockWookieConnectorService.java) I'll keep adding to this over the next few weeks so please keep an eye on it. Also, if anyone tries to implement this in another language please release early (via the issue tracker) so that we can ensure that we stay aligned.
