Hi folks, - ad YAAFI it is small Avalon container for embedding into applications or other containers. Therefore limited functionality and no dependencies apart from the avalon framework. - there have been discussions here about the integration of other component models/containers but I don't know about the status. there are always discussions about embracing Spring or osgi based frameworks but at the end of the day it is your personal choice. If you would like to use Spring framework that's fine since you can still run YAAFI within Spring or the other way round. If you have problems migrating services in any direction I can help ... :-) Cheers Siegfried Goeschl Thomas Vandahl wrote:

I ve made diff between 2.3.2/2.4M1 and 2.4M1/2.4M2, and it seems that the major changes are on 2.3.2/2.4M1.Actually, I'm not sure what the state of the 2.4M2 tag really is. I would probably rather try to release off the trunk. I had a couple of tests failing in the trunk but not as bad as your test. As far as I know, Merlin is now maintained by some other company and if at all you will need to deploy YAAFI or Fortress to have a decent Avalon container. There have been discussions here about the integration of other component models/containers but I don't know about the status. Siegfried, Peter do you care to comment?Because of the missing documentation indicating "how to migrate", I need to understand first what have been changed and what should I change. I am little bit concern about 2.4M2 because some fulcrum components are not yet released and for other reasons.Right you are. I've been dealing with the security components lately, which I would like to be as compatible to the previous version as possible to ease migration. This in part depends on the Torque 3.3 release which I would like to finish in the next few weeks.Thomas, my question for 2.4M1 is that: should I care about the junit tests because more of them fail when I put the latest dependencies as you indicate below? Or should the turbine code and these "test cases" be migrated?The latter, definitely. I'd appreciate your help.I do not have any opinion on merlin or yaafi.Because yaafi is in 2.4M2, I am going to use it. Right now It is not clear on what It does. I seems that it allows "components" to be pluggable? (I am also little afraid about this migration because I am not sure about what I am going to do. I will probably going to learn a lot but I don't want to loose time)Components replace Turbine services. Avalon is an approach to give generic components an environment to live in. Many similar approaches have been made in the meantime, but still, Avalon has its advantages. For an introduction into the concepts, see http://excalibur.apache.org.
