i've been confused about this for a while, and i'd appreciate a quick overview (a pointer to avalon docs would be fine). there are a lot of lifecycle methods for avalon components whose purposes are somewhat unknown to me: compose() dispose() recycle() setup() configure() i can mostly guess, but i'd like it if someone could mention concretely what's called when, that'd be fab. also, what's the difference between a ComponentManager and a ComponentSelector? - donald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
