But I'm confused. Avalon is a server framework but is it a framework to build a server from the ground up. Or can you place it on top of an existing web server with a servlet engine. Some information suggests that it loads the server other suggests its put on top of a server. I know that it's purpose is to maintian a common framework for server applications using Java(which is why they asked me to look at it). I've looked at Jesktop and Cocoon but I'm still not sure. So is it a framework to build a new server or to put on top of an existing server?(for example Netscape with JRun3.0). Could someone please set me straight.
