A feature I really liked about developing for Phoenix was that by adding
some XDoclet tags I got an HTTP management console for my application
straight out of the box. Does Merlin (of which, along with XDoclet, JMX and
MX4J, I know almost nothing) support this?

Subject: [MERLIN] Re: Announcing Loom / Phoenix forked



I would like to let everyone in the Avalon development and user 
community know that the existing investment into the avalon framework 
and Phoenix product will be supported under the Merlin platform.  In 
particular, the Merlin platform has been supporting Phoenix components 
since version 2.1.  The current codebase under version 3.0 will allow 
even stronger support for some of the more obscure Phoneix features and 
capabilities.

Perhaps more importantly, the Merlin platform will ensure a smooth 
migration path that will respect the Avalon framework interface (as 
opposed to the fork of the framework proposed by Loom project).  As part 
of the process of supporting the user base, I encorage everyone to 
please let us if and what specific Phoenix features you are using.  It 
is clearly in our interests to ensure that there is a functional 
migration path open to our users.

Currently on my development list are the following topics: (a) support 
for the notion of block listeners (as part of a a larget model 
management objective; (b) incorporation of a security policy declaration 
(also under the scope of meta model management); (c) inclusion on Maven 
and Ant tools supporting configuration validation.

If there are other aspects - please let us know.

Cheers, Steve.
