The Composition package reads the block.xml file(s) and builds a model of the involved components, matches any dependencies and tries to figure out what ties into what (that has a good chance of being deployed). >2. What do you think to either integrate with > Jini or develop a similar mechanism in Merlin? There has been some debate of "Jini in Avalon", and since I am probably one of the more experience Jini users, I guess it falls onto my responsibility to figure out how this can be achieved, Central in the Jini metaphor is that service are not always available and the 'client' always has to support this, whereas in Merlin the total opposite is true. So I have recognized that there has to be some form of Availability noitification system introduced, and I haven't gotten to defining one. Once that is in place, we not only get the Jini/Distributed services possibility, but also reloadable components, which is desirable independently of Jini/distrbuted. Once that is in place, it is a matter of moving forward.
