Reminds me; what is the mechanism applets used against? We were making use of it at somepoint to try and not have referencing chew up too many resources. I wonder if we could use it to store references which "cleanup" could later remove. Do you have an applet handy you could check with? I seem to recall it was used to implement/store the "AppletContext" > The only thing I want to say is that we should not forget that geotools is > used in other environments too. > I am happy with your proposal, but sometimes I get the feeling that geotools > is made for geoserver only, that would be a pity. I think that is a happy accident because the geoserver developers have been very good about contributing back. Seriously. I have been to many customer sites where an old version of geotools is used; and I spend days sorting out what fixes they have; what fixes they made and did not commit back and so forth... crazy.
