Pointers to enumerated technologies [message #1543] Fri, 21 February 2003 18:10 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,

In the previous posts, several "component" technologies have been named:
OSGi, JMX, etc...

Although I knew the acronyms, I'm not familiar with the technology itself
(and guess I'm not the only one) so I'm looking for introduction documents
as well as comparison documents.

Thanks

PaScaL

are you aware of the Avalon Projekt at Jakarta
(http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon)? The Avalon framework itself offers a
component model and has a basic infrastructure for component design. On top
of that, there are several management container implementations (Fortress,
Phoenix, Merlin) with different complexity supporting enhanced life-cycle
models, deployment, management extensions, etc.

Some well known application use this model like James and Cocoon.

The docs are currently a little out-of-date, but the commiters are creating
a new release currently ... best to talk to them on the mailing list.

Just my 2c

Regards,
J

Hi Pascal,

I know OSGi fairly well and I have done some of those summaries
before, so I will send an OSGi in the short rapidly.

Would be great if others would volunteer to do the same for other
technologies.

Cheers,

I knew the name, but that's all.

I'd be very interested in knowing how and where this model can help us.
Could you tell us more?

Thx

There is also ObjectWeb's Fractal component model/framework which
might be interesting to look at:

http://www.objectweb.org/fractal

It's a pure runtime component model, supporting composition (including
sharing) and runtime reconfigurations. The reference implementation
(named Julia, ) is quite sophisticated and extensible, and there is an
XML-based ADL in the work. It's licensed under LGPL.

There was a workshop about it recently and one of the presentations
was about a comparaison between Fractal, Gravity (OSGi) and Avalon.
Slides availables at:

http://www.objectweb.org/fractal/current/workshop2003/avalon -fractal-gravity.pdf
Hope it helps.

Just see the posting from Stephen McConnell (Thread "Avalon"). Since he is
the core developer of the
most featured version (or better - implementation of the Avalon model), he
is far more capable of giving the
right answers than me :)
