you are right ... the documentation is newer than the JARs from 
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/repo/ ... :-(

I upload the JARs to the repo and write another mail when I'm done with it

ServiceContainerFactory is the one to use - then name 
"ServiceManagerFactory" was sort of misleading and was therefore renamed 
to ServiceContainerFactory .

Well, ContainerUtil.initialize(serviceContainer) is a helper class from 
the avalon-framework and calls in turn serviceContainer.initialize(). 
But the preferred way to get an instance of YAAFI is using 
ServiceContainerFactory since I encapsulate a lot of low level coding.
