- API 1 is useful to any container writer in particular. Thus I believe
containers like Geronimo must probably already have such an API. I'll
ask on the Geronimo mailing list to check it out. If they do, and if
this API is nicely packaged in a thin jar (a jar used to manipulate
servlet deployment descriptors for example), would you be ok to have
Cactus Ant integration depend on it?

Fine with me. I'm all about code reuse.


- For 2 and 3, what would you think about creating a Jakarta Commons
project/a Codehaus project or possibly a Geronimo subproject for that?
It could be called something like "Container Client Interface" (CCI).
I'm not sure yet how much time I'll have for this but I'd like to know
what you think so that we have some direction on what we'd like to
achieve.

I wouldn't mind that either. It seems like another reusable piece...


Cheers,
Nick

Hi,

There are several pieces of code that are located in the Cactus project
(namely in our Ant integration module) and which could be useful to
others independently of the Cactus context:

1- an API to manipulate the web.xml deployment descriptor (read and
write).
2- an API to start/stop containers
3- an API to create container configuration
