Laurent:
Wow - lots of questions in this one! I'm kind of deep in some rather heavy stuff for the next 24-48 hours but I promise to put together a detailed answer to you email and a complete roadmap of where things are going with Merlin.
Cheers, Steve.

Hello,
Stephen, you're talking about "lots of demos available". Do you have anything close to a kernel loader able to work in a J2EE context (Web App) ? What are the issues I have to deal with ? I am mainly worrying about potential classloading conflicts / problems : should I put the component jar files in the root of the EAR and declare this directory as the system or shared directory ? By the way, could you give me some hint about what are the context informations I should pass to the Merlin kernel when bootstraping it (ie : home, system, shared, ...) ?
You also told me about some interesting things about how you see component adminstration using JMX in Merlin. Basically, if I understand you well, we have two different level of administration : Appliance and Component instances. While it is feasible to plug a Component-level administration using lifecycle extensions, it seems more intrusive to me to have Appliance management. Am I right ? This brings one question to my mind : are Appliances and other internal stuff "true" components", meaning : are such things registered within the container as components which would potentially enable us to provide them with lifecycle extensions ? I guess this is not that easy as these form the core of the container. I'm talking about all that coz I'm pretty interested in giving Merlin a try within a J2EE webapp and providing it with JMX administration.
By the way (sorry for so many questions at the same time !), what about component proxies (using Dynamic proxies, CGlib, ...) which would enable us to plug interceptors and potentially provide components with security, conversational state, ... ? Does it fit in Merlin plans ?
Oh, one last thing. Where are you at with your Service URL stuff ? How can a client access a component deployed in the container ?
Thanks !
Laurent

Hello all.but I'm
Can or will Merlin be able to load Phoenix blocks/components?
I believe this has been covered before, or at least hypothesized about,
not sure if in reality it is the case. Anyone want to confirm?
Merlin is based on the Assembly package which is based on the Meta package. The meta package provides a legacy <blockinfo> reader that handles the construction of the Type based on the Phoneix xinfo format.
I'm starting another project at work that would be better suited for afull
difficult.featured container like Phoenix. Just wanted to be sure that if I go with Phoenix now, that switching to Merlin when possible shouldn't be too
No change is required - they will just run.
Cheers, Steve.
p.s. Lots of demos available if you need them.
