| <head><title>JCL Kernel</title></head> |
| <body> |
| <h2>JCL Kernal</h2> |
| <p> |
| Contains JCL2 API kernel. |
| Code that uses the API should access only these classes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This differs from the JCL1 API in several important ways. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The size is much reduced.</li> |
| <li>Code using this distribution will run with just this code.</li> |
| <li>The base implementation is simplified. |
| It should be possible to create JCL implementations |
| that run on early JVMs and in reduced library environments.</li> |
| <li>No bridging implementations are included.</li> |
| <li>Minimal discovery code is included and none is exposed by the API. |
| This allows flexibility in the chose of discovery strategy. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| <code>LogFactory</code> now extends <code>LogManager</code> |
| and has been retrofitted with compatibility code. |
| This allows backwards compatibility for components compiled |
| against JCL1. |
| </p> |
