Re: Standalone plugins
Thanks for your response. What I have in mind is to be in the situation of having a general web application with a common set of services and components (including the a general Border, etc.) and getting different contractors to develop different parts of the app in parallel without having to touch any single file in the main app or any other plugin to put them into production. Then the warranty and support agreement from each contractor would be clearly separated and future modifications or additions of new plugins could be done by the best bidder. Do you think the technical possibilities are enough for such scenario?

Re: Standalone plugins
Thank you. I will look into this if I get the time. --- Ron Piterman [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: again, the trick is adding references to a library without coding it. Tapestry defines in the hivemind registry the service point : tapestry.parse.SpecificationSource which is responsible for reading the specification from files - I would think that to make dynamic libraries load, you need to implement this service a new: create a single library which is dynamic, all other libraries will delegate to the tapestry implementation. for your dynamic library, create a specification which is dynamically generated according to a hivemind configuration point.

Re: Standalone plugins
Oh! good to hear that. I was trying to replace the service tapestry.init.ApplicationSpecificationInitializer with a simple class that adds the id and path to the libraries. It should work, but I will better wait and try to use your better library. Thanks Pedro --- Norbert Sándor [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: I'm working on a library which can: - inject library references into other libraries using hivemind configurations - implements global namespace for tapestry components - supports dynamic rendering of components by name (not perfect solution but it works in most cases) The code is already finished, I have to write some docs yet. (Now I'm out of order but I will release the library this weekend or the next week.) Regards: Norbi Ron Piterman írta: again, the trick is adding references to a library without coding it.
