I was thinking of something like that too. Perhaps I could keep the idea of the little mutual funds application and do a non-component implementation as well as the PicoContainer and Fortress versions. Eventually, I'd want to put together a full tutorial that shows the various principles of component oriented programming (SoC, IoC, etc.). Start off with a basic API and then show simple implementations in PicoContainer, Fortress, Merlin and perhaps a few others. Then do a phase two where we pick one (Fortress or Merlin) and expand on the application, showing a Swing based version and a web based version. Something that shows off how COP can ease the complexity of a big application. I think the little mutual fund app is a good candidate for this. I'm not sure if this will end up on the Avalon site or not. It would be a great Avalon Beginners guide, but I also want to include references and examples to other containers. J.
