Generally you want to use Phoenix if you are writing a standalone application. It has the most strongly typed system and is the oldest most mature container. Use Fortress if you want to embed in another environment. It may not be mature yet but it is based on ECM so can be considered fairly stable. It offers things like pooling and also allows you to poke aroun in innerts. -- Cheers, Peter Donald ------------------------------------------------------------ militant agnostic: i don't know, and you don't know either. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
