I agree with you on this, standardizing on a single service framework is probably best. FYI, Cocoon uses Avalon Merlin and it could be interesting to build synergies between the projects. I remember a while back one of the Cocoon committers expressing interest in supporting JSR168 in their portal server. It could also be interesting to share some services as well. Those frameworks all have their pros and cons, and any of them could probably work. The question is more: which one is most likely to be shared accross projects, gain wide acceptance and emulate component sharing? Just my 2 cents.
