A few thoughts about Avalon, Excalibur and future Avalon components ...

[Siegfried Goeschl <si...@it20one.at>]

Hi folks,

as an Avalon newbie I had a look at Excalibur/Merlin/ECM/Phoenix and 
only found a few available services on the webpage. The point is that 
there are a few more service out there ...

+) Torque can be run as Avalon component
+) there is a bunch of Avalon services at Fulcrum (see 
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/fulcrum/)
+) there were the Cornerstone services (what happened to them)

Would it be a good idea to add a few links to known, good Avalon 
Services - plus a few comments which servics currently runs in which 
container ?! A not so contrieved example - there is currently work going 
on for Avalon Groovy Service as part of Fulcrum and nobody of your 
community would know about it. And the communication it is not getting 
better in the light of Metro ... :-(

At the end of the day I think the best reason to start with an Avalon 
container is to reuse the existing services ... :-)

Thanks in advance

Siegfried Goeschl

Hi Siegfried,

Thanks for the links - I also wasn't aware of the Fulcrum services either.

The cornerstone components are in Excalibur SVN now, they were 
transferred across from Avalon a little while back.

I'd be +1 to add some external links to the Excalibur website pointing 
poeple to the other services available.

Gang, what do you think?

Cheers,

Marcus
