quick question: so far, I've been testing the servlet tutorial with the 3.2-dev code base -- what's the cvs branch that all the changes reg. the embedded kernel are being tested/developed in and does it make sense for me to put the tutorial in there / retrofit it so it uses the latest and greatest way of embedding (just caught up with some of the posts - it looks like the Map that I'm using already went to bit-heaven).
LOL
The changes are all isolated under the merlin/kernel/loader package for the moment - which is not used anywhere in the runtime expect perhaps on Alex's machine - and he hasn't received commit provs just yet so we are safe for a few more hours! As we move forward we have to refactor a bunch of embedded situations that already exist - and the servlet will be one of the targets. I would not wrorry about refactoring just yet because we still have a few things to sort out before this starts.
For the patch - I suggest you apply this relative to avalon-sandbox/merlin/merlin-extensions/merlin-servlet
Cheers, Steve.

Hi all,
I am working with someone, getting them turned onto avalon! Rightnow they are using the Fulcrum Testcontainer to write unit tests and get to understand how Avalon works. I wanted to give him an example of using the container inside of a simple servlet. Does anyone have an example servlet starting up an avalon container? If not, is there any interest in having one as an example?
Filip Defoort posted a message back on the 24-OCT in which he mentioned that he has an embedded Merlin kernel running inside a servlet. Also, Timothy Bennett has been working on web-engine component (based on Jetty) that runs in Merlin and handles deployment of servlets as managed components. Alex Karasulu and I have been working on refactoring the embedding processes (or which there are four or five variants already) to get that into a very clean, very smart, and very small deployment model. Once the refactoring is done we'll be updating all of the embedded scenarios (unit test, command line tool, maven plugins, web-app, etc.) to use a single embedding approach.
Also something on the agenda is web-enabling Merlin - so that you basically deploy components as you do today, but if if your component implements Serlet - then you get 100% servlet support as well. I.e. total seamless web-integration while maintaining a consitent compoent and service management architecture.
Question for Filip - any chance you could post a patch or the sources on the updated Merlin Servlet demo?
Cheers, Steve.
