What's their use?
At CocoonGT we had some sort of agreement to create optional modules
Please, no more modules. It is bad already as it is - adding *more*
modules only makes it worse. What's wrong with simply deprecating
them, with placing appropriate javadoc?
+1 to move to -components, these are certainly not -core.
But this doesn't solve the problem that many components are loaded
into the spring app context by default. Having them into a seperate
module makes it easy to exclude them. But of course than you can run
into the situation that you only need one of them and get them all
loaded again :-(
However, what we could do is introducing a rule that every *.opt.xml
file in META-INF/cocoon/spring and META-INF/cocoon/avalon isn't
loaded automatically but needs to be included explicitly.
gosh this is hacky :). How are the users are going to differentiate
which jars contain automatically loaded contexts and which not?
Plase mind we are heading for source less releases.
For users the message should be simple: put the jar on the classpath -
cocoon will pick up the components. Do not put it there if you want
your cocoon lighter.
Would that be that problematic to have cocoon-pipeline-core-components
and cocoon-pipeline-optional-components?
It's Vadim who's worried about more modules. I'm just trying to find
alternatives ...
In my opinion that's the way to go but there is still the problem: What
can you do if you only need one of these components?
As you say, the expected behaviour is that if you add a dependency on a
particular module, all components get loaded automatically. Maybe we can
make this configureable for power users who want to deactivate e.g.
META-INF/cocoon/spring/cocoon-foo.xml?
I doubt there is anything like excludes in spring fw.
