-Given a set of compoenent types Merlin initially establishes the set of
candidates based on the declared dependecies and services. For every component
declared or implied in the assembly Merlin will attempt to locate a set of
candidate supplies. For every supplier Merlin will attempt to resolve the
suppliers dependecies. If a failure occurs, the failed component is disgarded
as a potential supplier candidate. Each component type is associated with at
least one instantiation profile (explicit, packaged, and/or explicit).
Profiles imply an inital ranking of candidates. Explicit profiles (that is
component declarations included within a container declaration in the kernel
defintion) are given highest priority. Package profiles (profiles declared in
a <class-name>.xprofile resource take second priority, following by
implicit profiles (only generated in the absence of explicit or packaged

<p>Merlin and Fortress are very similar in that they both address the
requirement for an embeddable component container. Merlin and Fortress differ
in terms of the requirements that they meet. Fortress focuses on the needs
related to frequent service activation requests based on service interface
request supplied by a client to a service or component manager. Merlin on the
other-hand is more concerned with complex service management systems
establishment.</p>

Fortress concerning formal dependency management and service assembly is
relatively weak. Relative to the Merlin architecture, Fortress can be

Merlin to be able to include Fortress as a type of container (i.e. have

interface). This would expand the service lifestyle models available.
Another approach would be to merge the Fortress and Merlin developments,
however there are important issues relating to assumptions made at the level of
service/component manager lookup request and semantics related to
component/service selectors that remain open.</p>

<subsection name="What's the difference between Containerkit and the
Merlin Meta-Model?">
-<p>The meta model defined in both Containerkit and Merlin separates out the
notion of type related meta-info from the criteria for instantiation - commonly
referred to a meta-data. The containerkit and Merlin meta-info APIs are
basically equivalent, in fact both models currently share the same DTD for XML
based component type declarations.</p>
+<p>The meta model defined in both Containerkit and Merlin separates out the
notion of type related meta-info from the criteria for instantiation - commonly
referred to a meta-data. The Merlin meta-info API is basically a superset of
the containerkit API. The Merlin meta-info model goes beyond conterkit by
providing explicit declaration of lifecycle extension depedencies, and
lifecycle extension handlers.</p>
-<p>The Merlin API used more human friendly naming conventions (e.g. a type
is referred to a <a
href="api/meta/org/apache/excalibur/meta/info/Type.html">Type</a>, a component
profile at the meta-data level is called a <a
href="api/assembly/org/apache/excalibur/merlin/model/Profile.html">Profile</a>,
the association between profiles is called an <a
href="api/assembly/org/apache/excalibur/merlin/model/Association.html">Association</a>

oriented naming conventions - ComponentInfo, ComponentMetaData and
DependencyMetaData respectively). Aside from naming conventions, the Merlin
meta-info model includes a method through which a client can assess a default
configuration associated and packaged with the type.</p>

association, and includes support for formal lifecycle extension management.</p>
<p>At the meta-data levels the differences are more significant.
Containerkit requires that the associations between produced and consumers are
declared at the time of meta-data creation (final constructor arguments). In
the Merlin model these assembly directives can be added progressively
(non-final variables). This reflects the divergence in the approaches to
assembly enabled in Merlin (dynamic) versus the (static) approach employed by
Phoenix.</p>
