Hello,
I've played with JNet for a while trying to integrate it with SSF and run into
many troubles.
First of all, I'm not sure if I understand whole concept correctly. Do I
understand correctly that
JNet provides SourceURLStreamHandlerFactory class that acts just like a bridge
supporting legacy
Source implementations? Should we consider URLStreamHandlerFactory and
URLStreamHandler as general
replacements for SourceFactory and Source interfaces?
If a long-term goal is to drop Source and SourceFactory interfaces what about
extension like
ModifiableSource, MoveableSource, PostableSource? How can they be supported by
URLConnection and
friends?

Another problem is with the implementation. There is a problem with installing
SourceURLStreamHandlerFactory because:
a) it must be installed before ServletFactoryBean is being used at Spring
initialization phase
b) it must be installed after ApplicationContext is created because
SourceFactories are components
that must be initialized by Spring container.
I have no clue how to solve this problem. Any ideas?
