                                    <p>
  The following changes are a result of trying to order the
  initialization of the services according to order they
  are listed in the TR.props file. To effect this change, the
  Configuration class from Velocity was used because it
  internally keeps properties in order. Variants of the
  Configuration are used in three projects now so we should
  work on putting it somewhere so it can be reused. For
  now it's being pulled from the Velocity JAR included in
  the Turbine distribution but this will change when we
  find a home for the Configuration class.
</p>
                                                <p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      The order of the services has been changed in the TR.props
      master file to reflect some dependencies services have
      on one another.
    </li>
    <li>
      The way to tools are specified for the Pull Service has
      changed because the Configuration class takes care of
      correct ordering. The <code>loader-order</code> key is no longer
      required as the tools will be instantiated in the order they
      appear in the TR.props file.
    </li>
    <li>
      Big cleanup to the TurbineResourcesService directory.
      The Configuration class is an amalgamation of the
      ConfigurationRepository/Configurations/ExtendedProperties
      class so they have been removed and the Configuration
      class is now used in their place. Here is a list of the
      affected files:
      <ul>
        <li>
          modules/actions/InitContextsAction.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/BaseServiceBroker.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/TurbineServices.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/logging/PropertiesLoggingConfig.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/naming/TurbineNamingService.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/pull/TurbinePullService.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/resources/ResourceService.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/resources/TurbineResourceService.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/resources/TurbineResources.java
        </li>
        <li>
          services/xmlrpc/TurbineXmlRpcService.java
        </li>
      </ul>

      <p>
      Most of these changes have to do with the fact the
      the keys returned from a Configuration are in the
      form of an Iterator, not an Enumeration.
      </p>

    </li>

      Some dead files were removed from the TurbineResources
      directory. The ErrorResources and the MessageResources.
      The MessageResources wasn't doing anything and the
      ErrorResources looked like it was being used in
      TurbineResources but none of the errors it was supposed
      to trap had any effect. For example the message that
      it is supposed to display when the TR.props file is
      missing wasn't displayed. It looked a bit sketchy
      anyway so I removed it. If anyone feels strongly about
      it they can put it back. I think we can with a better
      error mechanism any way.

      The Velocity service has been updated to reflect recent
      changes made in Velocity. The Velocity service has started
      using the Velocity class which is now the client code
      contract with Velocity internals.

      TurbineUploadService changed so that a repository
      path specified without a leading <code>/</code> is relative to
      the webapp.

      Configuration functionality add to services.
      <br />
      Services now have access to a Configuration object that
      can be used instead of a Properties object. Hopefully
      we can eliminate the use of Properties all together.
      Right now the Velocity Service is the example of how
      to use the Configuration object inside a service.

      Torque
      <br />
      The Torque tasks have been cleaned up. Tried to place
      as much of the information required for generation
      in a configuration file. Hopefully this will allow
      us to add functionality to the generating process without
      having to alter the ant task code.

      Velocity Service
      <br />
      Updated to keep in step with the changes that are
      being made as Velocity moves to 1.0. Velocity can
      now be fully configured from the TR.props. In the
      Velocity service the subset of the TR.props that
      pertain to the Velocity service are extracted
      and passed on to the Velocity Runtime. This should
      make the Velocity service easier to configure.

      TemplateService was reworked to associate template file name

      <code>SequencedHashtable</code> is a Hashtable whose keys are

      implementing the LRU algorithm.  Convenient for buffering
      recently used objects.
