Thanks, Stephen... The reason I was including the Merlin API was because I would be needing to deploy a block dynamically further down the exercise... ..I suppose I will be able to do this only if I use something like this :
m_kernel.getModel().addModel(m_kernel.locate(url)); Basically what I'm trying to do is this: I have an application initializer which will throw up a login screen and ask the user to login. After login, the 'modules' allowed for his profile will be downloaded, and the actual application started with only those 'modules' that he has access to deployed in the kernel. User 2 may have a completely different set of modules to work with... ..the concept being the entire application will be available to a user only very rarely. For this, I have two choices: generate the block.xml dynamically, ask merlin to deploy the block, or package the modules as blocks, ask merlin to deploy all blocks it finds within a single directory... It will be really simple if I can do this without embedding Merlin into my application and instead asking it to simply launch all blocks found in a folder - BUT AFTER login is through... How do I get this done? ..Am I on the right track at all? Any suggestions will be helpful. Re. the classpath, I came across another post where you'd suggested to remove all other jars from the system classpath as this would result in a conflict between classloaders... ..I had merlin-impl.jar or something also in the system classpath. Once I removed it and included only avalon-repository-api, avalon-repository-main, merlin-api and avalon-framework-api in the system classpath (other than my own jar), things worked fine. Thanks a lot for your help, Brgds, R.
