Well, LOOM had a release cycle in the last year and we have access to sourcecode, buglist, feature, documentation, and an 1.0RC3 distribution For Phoenix we have a repository trunk that does not run james, no feature list, no documentation and no official distribution. I Just tested the 2 distributions Peter sent to me today. One runs under the same conditions of Loom (needed to change the data-sources configuration), the other one (the one he's using) does not find a package that I've not been able to find anywhere (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avalon/excalibur/packagemanager/impl/DefaultExtensionManager). > And I never proposed that we precipitously dump the Avalon > interfaces.

I already explained this: IMHO the change removed avalon specific source code in favor of avalon specific configuration. BTW this is an useless discussion: we can deploy our dbcp class by removing/changing the schema.xml file from the just released cornerstone-datasources-impl-2.1.jar. This exact problem does exists with both Phoenix-LatestFromPeterRoyal and Loom-1.0RC3 (1). Now that I looked to it better phoenix-trunk didn't work for the same exact issues Loom didn't: simply Loom gave me better error and I found the problems and fixed them. Now our codebase is compatible with phoenix-trunk, phoenix-4.0.4 and loom-1.0RC3. Our config.xml is not valid but the important thing is that the code is compliant. Both phoenix-trunk and loom-1.0RC3 should correctly handle the classpath for the contained application (they add any jar in SAR-INF/lib to the classpath). Stefano (1) Just look at this file: lib\cornerstone-datasources-impl-2.1.jar\org\apache\avalon\cornerstone\block s\datasources\DefaultDataSourceSelector-schema.xml It validates the "data-souces" element only when its class attribute contain the "org.apache.avalon.excalibur.datasource.JdbcDataSource" line. <element name="data-source"> <attribute name="name"/> <attribute name="class"><value>org.apache.avalon.excalibur.datasource.JdbcDataSource</v alue></attribute> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
