a very good example is the cocoon project. www.xml.apache.org/cocoon They're using the Avalon framework very well and they using the ExcaliburComponentManager within a ServletContainer. But you have to take look in the code ;-). Look at the class org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon and org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet. >I suppose, I could just get the instance of my singleton >ComponentContainer class in any class in my application and then >retrieve a component, but I thought this might not be very good >practice. >I feel like I am asking pretty fundamental questions.
