The scheme for specifying a LifestyleManager from the kernel.xml profile is not quite ready for prime time. An instance of DefaultLifestyleManager is set up initially and attached to the KernelManager. Then the kernel.xml configuration is checked for a lifestyle manager specification, and if present, it is classloaded and semi-lifecycled. It gets only enableLogging, configuration, initialization. To properly set up DefaultLifestyleManager, contextualization with the pool manager is needed. I am not clear on how the second lifestyle manager ends up over-riding the first one, but it does. Since the example kernel.xml from merlin has the DefaultLifestyleManager specified in the kernel.xml file as the LifestyleManager, the resulting setup is broken for pooling. Ironic, since the DefaultLifestyleManager should work perfectly for pooling!
