I think we already have that. Pooled means one-per-lookup, from a common pool, singleton means singleton per container, transient means one new instance per lookup. Why not just let the definitions stand as they are? I think they are clear enough. The words "pooled" and "singleton" are well defined. "Transient" is made up here, but if we say "one new instance for each lookup()" then I think most people will understand. If we break each lifestyle into three facets (Creation, Collection, and Destruction), then - as you have seen - we end up with *more* terms to define, not less. Worse, those terms are made up here at Avalon which makes it even more difficult to follow a discussion. I'm already having problems with the use of words like "kernel", "appliance" and "collection strategy". Please don't add more unless you have to. /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
