Thus was born '''Fortress'''. Fortress supports legacy ECM components but provides a number of features like basic meta-data configuration (instead of a "roles" file), dynamic service activation, lifecycle extensions, instrumentation support and so on. Fortress is also "embeddable" in that you can easily start up a Fortress container in your own application be it a Java Swing client or a Servlet. Fortress provides no default standalone client (i.e.- there's no "main" method class in Fortress) and doesn't do much classloader magic, making embedding a little more predictable. Fortress was released in the summer of 2003 and replaced ECM as Avalon's light weight container of choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
