Re: how to "melt" phoenix with catalina

[Paul Hammant <Pa...@yahoo.com>]

Binary,

I dont quite understand your question.  However I'll answer it as it 
you'd asked "How do I go about componentizing Catalina so that it can 
run inside Phoenix as a set of blocks and present services to other 
Phoenix components".  Sorry if that is not what you are asking:

Basically , we tried and failed in previous months to mount Catalina as 
an interface/implementation separated set of components on top of 
Phoenix. We failed because of a couple of reasons - 1) there was poor 
interface/impl separation for Catalina itself.  And 2) some of the trees 
of class loaders would only work if they were mounted at root 
(primordial) level.    Things may have improved since then but we are 
mosting concentrating on Sevak which is a wrapper approach.  It still 
has problems though possibly related to (2) above.
