-----------------------------------------
Hi Dinesh,
What if a future module need to do some dynamic loading stuff?. If it is moved
to the core that means it is meant to be used from within the core only. But if
it's remain in the util with our initial problem here solved then a future
modules with above requirement could use it.
> utils have dependancies on axis2 core when it comes to class loading

> At the moment

> /** transport sender dll */

> This is a layering violation. The util layer
> should contain low-level stuff that doesn't depend on the core. This
> list of DLL types, although it is in util, conceptually is describing an
> aspect of core (the kinds of DLL that core can load). If you changed
> the structure of core or even some other module (for example dynamically
> loading
> security modules), then you would have to modify util.
> The right solution is just to make the dll type be a string.
> The util layer knows only hat it's a string, but doesn't know what the
> legal string values are. The core layer would then define constants for
> the kinds of DLLs it needs (eg "svc" for the AXIS2_SVC_DLL), and the
> security layer can do likewise.
