My experience with the sprinigication of CForms was straight forward and mostly
mechanically as:
1. move and migrate a component config snippet from the xconf file to the
spring xml file
2. remove all imports of org.apache.avalon on the class under migration
3. fix the errors caused by 2.
4. migrate the configure method to setters (and adapt the spring xml
accordingly)
5. migrate the service method to setters (and adapt the spring xml
accordingly)
6. migrate the ServiceManager usage to setters (and adapt the spring xml
accordingly)
6a. if 6. is too dynamic to be replaced by setters use BeanFactoryAware
interface
7. check if an ev. dispose/init method is still needed
7a. if those are needed use InitializingBean/DisposableBean (only
singletons can be disposed)
8. restart at 2.for ev. base/abstract classes it extends
