fixed.

Yes intended. I want the user to know which configuration currently is
used. This is only for visibility. Shall i change it?

done, looks much better now :)

Do you mean the Web3DataSourceSelector or the ComponentManager? I
thought the ComponentManager can handle null's.?

fixed.

mock updated, i missed the ConversionException

Ok. Here we go. Now a standard CS is used. Therefore i implemented
a DefaultWeb3Streamer as i already have done before :( but thought
it would be to much overhead. Well now this has got a nice real
CS and i know how to use the excalibur standard.

Ok. I've done it away.

Ok, it isn't necessary, i'm the dumb one.

This is the thing with SAP and the JavaConnector. The JCO brings
a robust and ready to work pooling implementation. You can establish
multiple pools to multiple backends at the same time. The DataSource
itself stays the same implementation that does the work right now.

But to have a mechanism obvious to the user i wanted to bring the
process of selecting a specific backend into this component. Maybe
an example would help.

Say you have a webapp that uses a CRM and a R/3 backend. You will
go to define the connections in the xconf and give both backends
a characteristic name, say 'crm' and 'accounting'.
Now in the pipeline you have to decide against which backend the
RFC has to go.
Here you have to `select` the right connection(-pool).

Does this clarify the cirumstances?

Puh, you're right, did get it in mind now. It's for historical
reasons but no longer needed. Now avalon does the work all over.

Thanks for advice
