Allow me to smile widely :o) EJB is a joke when it comes to abstraction/encapsulation... 'nuff said. Avalon was started out with the task in hand to provide proper encapsulation and separation of interface/implementation, and what is now known as Inversion of Control, meaning the component is provided with what it needs, doesn't go about trying to get it by itself. The principles that Avalon is built upon are very sound, and when properly implemented gives you tremendous re-usability.
