Log:
Started to replace deprecated Assert with Validate.
import org.apache.avalon.framework.service.ServiceManager;
import org.apache.cocoon.util.NetUtils;
+import org.apache.commons.lang.Validate;
is there a special (functional) reason for using commons.lang.Validate?
Should we prefer it over the Assert class from Spring?
This is not a functional reason, but the Spring Assert class
is mostly used internally by the Spring framework (see javadoc).
Commons-lang's Validate is commonly used for argument validation
(throws IllegalArgumentException).
While replacing Assert's with Validate's I came across a few
Assert which were used in the sense of a Java 'assert' statement.
We should also fix this and use Validate for argument validation
only.

Apart from the functional aspect, I think it is a good idea to use
Commons – we should rather create dependencies to Apache libraries than
to Spring.
