All, There is a lot of good info comparing the differences between frameworks at:
http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Architecture_2fKernel Regarding Hivemind, Howard gave a presentation a while back, some more info on Hivemind can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08269.html It is a neat framework and hopefully the intellectual property issue will be resolved soon. I especially like the clean interceptor model. The substitution model would also be quite handy to create clean separated modules and substitute common configuration from a central configuration point. Finally Hivedoc is quite nice in providing a clear picture of the dependencies between modules. Another interesting approach (which is the approach taken by ExoPortal for instance) would be to combine AOP with Pico container or Avalon (Merlin seems to be the recommended service framework). Lots of choices out there. What would be the key features that we would be looking for?
