Re: what container will be appropriate for use with web based application?

[Robert McIntosh]

One that maintains no client/caller state between method invocations, just like EJB Session beans (stateless ones obviously), and they certainly have a lifecycle to them. In avalon a component could be Configurable, Initializable, etc., all of which are lifecycles.

Making a component stateless doesn't by default make it thread safe though. Just like with servlets, you should make sure that any resources a components holds on to are either synchronized or are thread safe themselves.

Both Fortress and Merlin support stateless components.

Which makes me wonder: what is a stateless component? One that is
thread-safe? One that has no lifecycle?
