It seems that there are many special requirements for containers (which could be called frameworks by some), by IT customers. Around 1995, PARC Xerox began publishing information about Aspect Oriented Programming which from the engineering perspective provides a methodology for weaving declarative functionality into an application. It would be interesting to wonder if in the future containers will be completely customizable. There could be the abstract container and the EJB container as we know it as an instance thereof - vendors could provide additional declarative services such as logging that could be "weaved" into the container.
