I've been playing around with Phoenix and Avalon off an on for a few months now. I'm quite impressed with the framework, and I've managed to convince my co-workers and manager to use Avalon-Phoenix as the container for our company's new commercial server product. The decision to use the framework is no small decision for our company, so I'm quite pleased.
cool!
(1) Is there a list anywhere of the companys/products currently using the Avalon-Phoenix framework in a production environment?
not really. I know of some of the biggest companies on the planet (or at least in their respective industries) that successfully run phoenix in a production environment (v4.0 and v4.0.1 from memory). Can't make any of that knowledge public though.
(2) Does each SAR loaded by Phoenix get its own JVM, or to all SARs share the same JVM?
the same JVM. Note it is perfectly possible to run multiple instances of phoenix side by side, each containing a single SAR, though I've found that doesn't really make any sense.
(3) Here's something from my legal guys... If I make source changes any Avalon project code during the course of developing or supporting our commercial server product built on Avalon-Phoenix, am I required by the license to "check" those modifications back into the projects?
no.
If the the answer is no, are there any changes to the license agreement that I need to be aware of?
I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice, but...
just have your legal peeps read and digest the apache license. It is real simple. If they know anything about software licensing I am guessing they can understand the meat and gritty of it in just a few minutes.
The addition we make to the "standard ASL v1.1" (at www.apache.org/LICENSE.txt) is basically that we deny you the right to use various terms we use @ avalon, to promote or endorse your software, (in addition to the name "apache"). IOW, you cannot call your project PowerPhoenix and use phoenix. It is possible to negotiate a different agreement with the ASF though (like covalent has done, for example).
cheers!
