Hi all guys, I am prototyping the Jackson support as described in CHAIN-76 and found an elegant solution with ServiceLoader to support, via Jackson, multiple format support without hardcoding them in the ConfigParser code but rather loading available parsers at runtime.
Since [chain2] hasn't been published yet and my prototype would require an API which is not available on Java5, we have 3 options: * using the [discovery] component * using a backport[1] component I wrote time ago for java5 (it's ALv2) * upgrade to java6 The second option sounds to me the more reasonable since uses java standard APIs and is Java6 compatible, while keeping Java5 backward compatibility... WDYT? Many thanks in advance, all the best! -Simo [1] http://99soft.github.com/backport-spi/ http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
