Short answer; Today - nothing much. Longer answer; Avalon started out as one of the first platforms addressing the need for component oriented programming. It was a lot of research in the early days, and the founders came up with the Soc, IoC and SoII patterns, now in big hype, but was largely unheard of at the time. Avalon started the concept that even non-J2EE/EJB apps could be developed with a surrounding container, that would provide the component with what it needs. And tried to do this in a completely generic way, without assumptions of the domain in which the application was going to be used. Nowadays we have many frameworks that has learnt from Avalon, tweaked it to their liking and enjoying the success of the Avalon principles; SoC and IoC. The many containers of Avalon have each tried to address one particular concern for the app developer, and the only thing they have had in common is Avalon Framework. The thing that tried to hold the Avalon containers together...
