Folks, Because the Mailets that JAMES uses (think servlets) can demand a ComponentManager from the JAMES kernel, they are going to try to cast things to Component. At the beginning of this year, we decided that Component was on the way out and it is now deprecated. Unfortunately nobody knew that JAMES was tied to CompManager, we all assummed that JAMES could migrate. Because there is a slim possbility that its user community has their own Mailets, we must support Componentized Cornerstone comps for JAMES.
Our question is do we.... a) Put back Component on the Cornerstone blocks, with a note that it will go again another month. or b) create a branch in Cornerstone CVS that supports the old Component way. or c) find some clever wrapper way of supporting Componentized blocks. I am voing to vote +1 for (b). Long term we have to persuade the JAMES comunity to create a new Mailet API and move their people to it. It was mootd about two months ago and your truly was going to lace together a demo, but has failed them given I'm currentlly quite ill, though not enough to keep me from my 10 hour working day and am also spending way too much time in London pubs.
