RE: [Embedlets-dev] Re: JAPL Events

[James C. <ca...@vi...>]

Yes, but the catch 22 of this is that if you make JAPL dependent on
embedlets then the enourmous effort required to build the JAPL library,
which is actually an absolutely massive library, dependent on the
embedlet event scheme. I think it makes sense for embedlets to talk to
other embedlets in an embedlets container but why constrain everything
else to use the embedlets framework? No JAPL has a very valuable life of
its' own independent of the embedlets container actually so I don't
agree that JAPL drivers mandatorially use the embedlet container event
handler.

I strongly disagree.  This couples JAPL and Embedlets too much and
bypasses 
the Embedlet Event scheduling and control mechanisms.  Bad idea.  If you
are 
doing that, then why bother with a container?  Just write straight Java
code 
and be done with it.

Better bet is to create a JAPL wrapper class that registers itself to a
JAPL 
event generator and then "translates" JAPL events into Embedlet Events
which 
are sent further upstream.
