Milestone one implements the component configuration management of the
Shimari enclosure: A system for loading and linking light weight
Java components into a flexible, deployable application. It is similar
to the Apache Digester tool, but different in that control over
object construction remains with the class constructor, rather than with
an XML file. In addition, it provides a means for components to resolve
one another after loading, similar to the way that an EJB constructs
itself. However, a shimari is a simple, light weight thing--it does not
include the heavy weight services (and complexity) of a J2EE installation.
Milestone one is reliable and tested, and ships with a working production grade sample application. The sample application is an IRC bot framework along with a working bot built with the framework--an IRC interface Foresight Exchange: an online trading game where you bet your reputation on your ability to predict future events. |
