Part of the motivation for the design of the broker
manager and the broker interface was a paper titled
Avalon: Developer Notes by Mr. Pierpaolo Fumagalli.
In this paper, Mr. Fumagalli introduces the following
interface for what he calls a block:
package org.apache.avalon;
public interface Block {
/**
* Return informations about this
<code>Block</code>.
*/
public BlockInfo getBlockInfo();
/**
* Initialize this <code>Block</code> instance.
*/
public void init(Framework fw)
throws FrameworkException;
/**
* De-initialize or destroy this
<code>Block</code> instance.
*/
public void destroy()
throws FrameworkException;
}
Doesn't this look familiar.

In this document, the author introduces the
developer to the Block
concept and to Avalon configurations.
