Getting ServiceSelector instead of ComponentSelector

[Andreas Hartmann <an...@apache.org>]

Hi Cocoon developers,

I define a component selector in my roles file:

<role name="org.apache.lenya.cms.ac2.AccreditableManagerSelector"
       shorthand="accreditable-managers"
       default-class="org.apache.avalon.excalibur
                 .component.ExcaliburComponentSelector">
   ...
</role>

and set it up in cocoon.xconf:

<accreditable-managers>
   <component-instance logger="lenya.ac.accreditablemanager"
     class="org.apache.lenya.cms.ac2.file.FileAccreditableManager"
     name="file"/>
</accreditable-managers>


But when I try to get the selector in my Java class, I get
an org.apache.avalon.framework.service.WrapperServiceSelector
instead of the ExcaliburComponentSelector. Can anyone tell me
how to avoid this? Is it because my client object is a Serviceable
and not a Composable?

BTW, which class should one use as the default ServiceSelector
instead of the ExcaliburComponentSelector that depends on the
deprecated ComponentSelector?

Thanks in advance!
Andreas

Yes.

When we can go Fortress instead of ECM, you can use that.  In the
mean time, ECM requires you to use the old Composable stuff.
