   <p>Merlin and Fortress are very similar in that they both address the requirement for an embeddable component container.  Merlin and Fortress differ in terms of the requirements that they meet.  Fortress focuses on the needs related to frequent service activation requests based on service interface request supplied by a client to a service or component manager.  Merlin on the other-hand is more concerned with complex service management systems establishment.</p>

This would expand the service lifestyle models available.  Another approach would be to merge the Fortress and Merlin developments, however there are important issues relating to assumptions made at the level of service/component manager lookup request and semantics related to component/service selectors that remain open.</p>

The Merlin meta-info API is basically a superset of the containerkit API.  The Merlin meta-info model goes beyond conterkit by providing explicit declaration of lifecycle extension depedencies, and lifecycle extension handlers.</p>
   
  -<p>The Merlin API used more human friendly naming conventions (e.g. a type is referred to a <a href="api/meta/org/apache/excalibur/meta/info/Type.html">Type</a>, a component profile at the meta-data level is called a <a href="api/assembly/org/apache/excalibur/merlin/model/Profile.html">Profile</a>, the association between profiles is called an <a href="api/assembly/org/apache/excalibur/merlin/model/Association.html">Association</a> - whereas containerkit references the same entries using more technically oriented naming conventions - ComponentInfo, ComponentMetaData and DependencyMetaData respectively).

   <p>At the meta-data levels the differences are more significant.  Containerkit requires that the associations between produced and consumers are declared at the time of meta-data creation (final constructor arguments).  In the Merlin model these assembly directives can be added progressively (non-final variables).  This reflects the divergence in the approaches to assembly enabled in Merlin (dynamic) versus the (static) approach employed by Phoenix.</p>
