It depends on how resource constrained the jvm is essentially. I know of at least two efforts that have attempted this. The first one managed to embedd phoenix with only minor modifications (mainly to remove all notion of threading and to hook into their startup process). However the other effort I know of ended up having to remove so much of Phoenix (all threading, the requirement for an xml parser, the way classloading worked etc). In this case it would have been better to just write a custom container using the minimum Avalon/Framework interfaces. > Would it be possible to pare down Avalon and/or Phoenix to run in such > environments?

I don't actually know much about the area but I can ask some people about it who have already worked on that sort of thing. However I suspect you are going to need to provide more details if you want advice of real value. ie What are the limitations of your particular device and how much overhead can your application(s) allow. -- Cheers, Peter Donald ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | I thought there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. | | There's a knob called "brightness", but it doesn't work. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
