It will take a bit for spring to catch up with all the features our user may currently use in our phoenix deployment. The spring deploymnet will need the scripts for unix and windows, the wrappers to run it as a service, it will need the integration with Commons Daemon. As an example of phoenix advanced components, phoenix provides a Beanshell based kernel that you can access with a console to manage the container and the contained applications dynamically. Phoenix has an HTTP adaptor on the ServiceManager that allow you to access the JMX services via web. Phoenix supports classloader isolations between multiple applications deployed inside it Not everything in this list will make me veto a proposal to use spring as our main deployment and forget about phoenix, but some of them are important, and this was mainly to make it clear that spring is not the panacea. On the container side I keep monitoring the directory project, because I think ApacheDS and JAMES Server could share a lot, and "following" a more active project could help us in working on our real goals: the mail handling. OT: In almost an year we didn't add anything SMTP/POP3 related neither improved our support for mailets (this is not a critic to you or your cool spring module, but something our PMC should take into account) Stefano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
