plugins for a tapestry app?
So I have a T4 app and I'm trying to get a sense for how hard it would
be to allow the user of plugins. What I mean is that I would like to be
able to write a plugin, put the jar in the WEB-INF/lib, and then have my
application load it. The plugins could be either interface contributions
or strictly something behind the scenes. Does anyone have any experience
with doing something like this? Would hivemind be the best bet or is
something like Java Plugin Framework better? I'm looking for any and all
thoughts/suggestions. Thanks.

Someone posted something like that a while back, I believe. Try
searching the archives.

Could one of the gurus please post some example hivemind config showing
how I can include a hivemodule.xml with my component library project so
that the library automagically registers itself with whatever
application is running? I've thought for a while that the *.application
file was something of a leftover and I'd rather do as much of my config
as possible in hivemind instead.

There's a HiveMind module for that, actually. Check out:
http://svn.javaforge.com/svn/hivemind/hivemind-hibernate3/trunk/src/main/resources/META-INF/hivemodule.xml
That's my hivemodule.xml file and it basically just sets up a
configuration point that allows any HiveMind module to contribute to
the Hibernate configuration. It works great in our application,
allowing us to just drop in new parts of the "domain" model and they
just get added into the mix automatically.

hmm. specifically for hibernate, how do you have it contribute new
entities?

Since HiveMind is already integrated with T4, I'd say use it. It has
the ability to dynamically discover new modules like you're wanting.
I came up with a similar architecture to allow multiple modules to
contribute to my Hibernate configuration dynamically. All you had to
do is drop in the jar, and the entities were automatically picked up
by the hibernate configuration.
