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?
Strictly speaking, a stateless component is one that
does not maintain information between method calls (AKA state).
One example of a state-ful component would be this:
Store myStore = (Store) m_manager.lookup(Store.ROLE);
myStore.save("mydoc", mydocument);
//..... several invokations later .....
mydocument = myStore.load("mydoc");
I.e. there is information that is kept between component uses.
A stateless component (the easiest to create ;P) does not
do that at all.
