Hi Christian, thanks a lot for sharing those info, much more than appreciated!
In commons-chain 2.0 we are basically trying to revamp the old chain 1.X, providing the same features, but keeping in mind a bottom-up approach (people are interested on using chain even outside the web context), strong modularization (no more god-jar containing everything), support of generics, new EDSL APIs, versatile configuration (XML, JSON, ...) and web support (Servlet/Portlet). I'd like to invite you to have a look at current /trunk and encourage to contribute back to commons - you would be much more than welcomed! :) Have a nice day, all the best! -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 8:22 PM, Christian T Trimble <christian.trim...@meltmedia.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am not sure where you are looking to take the commons chain project, but > you may be interested > in some code that meltmedia has open sourced.
