+1 for being backwards compatible in a minor 1.x release In the SecurityManager case I would let the parser allow the old config, use defaults for the new required component, and log a big warning on the console that this old config is deprecated. We can really remove it with Jackrabbit 2.0. Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
