Hi All,

Hope all is well. Attached is a .tgz file that contains the sources and a diff
file for an AvalonProvider. The AvalonProvider allows you to access service
objects from an Avalon ComponentManager by role name (modelled after the
EJBProvider).

The Provider fetches the ComponentManager reference from the MessageContext, and
uses Proxy classes to ensure that the Components are returned back to the
ComponentManager when they are no longer needed (better ideas on how to do both
of these are welcome).

To compile the Provider currently requires the avalon-framework.jar to be in the
lib directory, we could make this configurable if appropriate.

I hope the patch is ok. I've tested it out in my environment and it's quite
useful, but I'm still quite new to the Axis sources, so any
suggestions/improvements are more than welcomed! :)

Cheers,

Marcus
