I would then make the other containers "add-ons" that provide additional services, at the cost of additional configuration, developer commitment, etc. These other container choices will be kept to a minimum, based on their distinct benefits / subject matter. So, as a newbie, I can just download Avalon and run an example app with the default configuration. I can get to know the application, and I can begin to understand the possibilities. I am made aware that there are other, more complex containers for more complex requirements, and I move to them when I recognize that I need them. That is how I would solve the problem. - Adam > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > For additional commands, e-mail: > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
