Not really. I don't know the details of Pet Store real well but think of Avalon as a replacement for Session Beans. Avalon should NOT be used to develope the entity beans in anyway shape or form. Use OJB or <insert favourite persistence framework> to do that. Avalon is primarily a framework for developing "services" and thus should only be used for the active parts of program and the passive/reactive parts should not really have anything avalon specific about them. -- Cheers, Peter Donald *------------------------------------------------------* | "The whole problem with the world is that fools and | | fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but | | wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertand Russle | *------------------------------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
