FOP Configuration system
Hie,
I've got just a question. To make the configuration system, I wanted to use
the Configurations class of Cocoon (their system is perfect). But FOP would
be dependant on Cocoon ....
2 solutions:
- I take a copy of their class
or
- We make a 'configuration tool' for all the xml projects (like ant,
etc.)
What you say ?
Eric.

I am working right now on those interfaces... I believe I will commit
the modifications on Monday...

Sorry for the mail...
They are still in the org/apache/cocoon/framework
(I thought it was the old configuration system...)

S'cuse me... the org/apache/arch directory is empty...
Where are the source files ?

Wait wait wait...
What you call "the cocoon configuration classes" is a collection of
design patterns that is "borrowed" from the Avalon project
(http://java.apache.org/framework/)
I'm currently in the process of creating a separate package for Cocoon2
that is called
org.apache.arch
where all the "architectural" things will go. Then, you don't need to
care about Cocoon dependencies since both Cocoon and FOP will use the
same package (of course, if you want)
Also, the system is _not_ perfect. In the new version of the
configuration system you'll get the same patterns (configurable,
service, blah, blah) but with a better structure... this means:
- tree-like configurations
- cleaner interfaces
- more portable
Also, I'm coordinating with Federico (who is the maintainer of Avalon
and lives in my same town :) and avalon itself is based on those
classes.
If you want to take a look at them, checkout the "xml-cocoon2" branch of
the xml-cocoon tree and you'll find what you need (well, it's pretty
complete already with an XMLConfiguration implementation of
Configurations).
Comments welcome, expecially before those interfaces are frozen into
cocoon2.
