The simplest way is to use fortress. It is not released yet (but will be soon)
so you will have to grab it from CVS (avalon-excalibur/fortress). It has a
bunch of examples so you can use them as a starting point. But basically what
you can do is something like
final FortressConfig config = new FortressConfig();
config.setContextDirectory( "./" );
config.setWorkDirectory( "./" );
config.setContainerConfiguration("resource://com/biz/MyConfig.xconf" );
config.setLoggerManagerConfiguration("resource://com/biz/MyLogger.xlog" );
config.setRoleManagerConfiguration("resource://com/biz/MyRoles.roles" );
m_containerManager = new DefaultContainerManager( config.getContext() );
ContainerUtil.initialize(m_containerManager);
m_container = (DefaultContainer)m_containerManager.getContainer();
myComponent =
(MyComponent)m_container.getServiceManager().lookup( MyComponent.ROLE );
myComponent.doMagic();
Where MyComponent is the interface of the component you are using and the
config files are in jar in com.biz package.
Lookup examples for more info.

The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and
all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women.
Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at
twenty-one than you did at ten. --Jules Feiffer (cartoonist)
