Spring based Connector servlet

[Darran]

Attached is a patch which has a new spring based connector servlet project. It allows the Connector to be a Spring managed bean which is useful in Spring projects. For example if the connector is used to write to a database it will be able to use the Spring transaction manager or Spring events could be issued when an upload/download occurs for files.

I`ve also updated the java-demo project so it uses the new servlet. I`ve commented out the original ConnectorServlet in the web.xml

I had to change the Dispatcher slightly so a Connector can be passed into it. I also had to make the dispatcher member variable in the ConnectorServlet protected as the new SpringConnectorServlet derives from ConnectorServlet.

According to your forum thread this sound really, really interesting but this won't make into 2.5 because the code is complete and I am just finishing documentation. Each new code fragment needs audit and testing and this is not feasable for this release. I will probably push this patch into 2.6.

I needed it for a Grails project so Ill use this implementation currently and Ill look forward to a similar implementation in 2.6.

Also I was toying with the idea of writing a connector to upload/download using Amazon S3 or SimpleDB,as I may need to do this for my own project, which would make a good demo for the Java connector.

This sounds good, hopefully the connector interface gives you enough flexibility.

since FCKeditor is legacy this won't be realized in FCKeditor.Java 2.6. This may reemerge in CKEditor.Java.
