Hi.

I've got a couple of questions on Avalon and Phoenix:

1. How stable is Phoenix?

Stable enough :)
I work on a phoenix app for some month and I haven`t found problem or bug in it.

4. Does Phoenix offer its Blocks any means to communicate
centrally?

Your block gets a reference of the other block. see ComponentManager.

5. Is there anyone running a Phoenix based system
professionally, i.e. commercially?

I think James is an absolute professional mail server. it is free, and built on avalon.

6. How about maintainability and testability of Phoenix
running several servers as blocks when operating system
changes, JRE changes, server-app changes come into play? Do
you think this is manageable? Any experiences someone?

I tested it with IBM (1.1) and SUN (1.2 - .1.4, +j2ee) java developement kits. No problem.
What problem may couse an operating system change for a well written java application?

8. Are there any public reviews or others opinions on
Avalon availabe somewhere since it is also contributed to
JSR111 Java Services Framework?

I have read a very old ( year 2000 or 2001) description about java frameworks at ibm developerworks, but I couldn`t find anything else. Maybe that time avalon was quite new, it was just a very short description on it.
