Steve's reply is very valid. -execute indicates to Merlin that when the life cycle initialization is completed, start the shutdown. This mode mainly exists to be able to run testcases.

How can you listen to a component that you don't "know about" (i.e no dependency). Please note that the dependency can be declared both optional and against very generic interfaces. > So, either this should not be done (and your suggestion was wrong) or there > is a bug.

Nah,,, it ain't that bad. > * @avalon.dependency type="ServiceA:1.0" key="serviceA" > m_serviceA = (ServiceA) manager.lookup( "serviceAProvider" ); This doesn't work, and you should get a ServiceException, saying that "serviceAProvider" is unknown. The "key" must match the lookup() argument. Somehow I have the feeling that you are just trying to fool around to get grips with the concepts, and perhaps not very comfortable with the way we do things in Avalon. If you are trying to give us a simplified view of a real-world problem, perhaps it is better if you give me the 'reality' and explain what you try to do, and I'll tell you how to go about it.
