a core framework, utilities, tools, components and containers. By using key
design patterns such as Inversion of Control (IoC) and Seperation of Concerns
(SoC), Avalon achieves a number of advantages over traditional object oriented
programming frameworks:
* No implementation lock
* Low coupling between components
* Component lifecycle management
* Configuration management and easy to use API
* Component meta-data framework and tools
* Service dependecy management
* Embeddable containers for standalone, J2EE and web environments
The Avalon Framework API and Implementation consists of interfaces that define
relationships between commonly used application components, best-of-practice
pattern enforcements, and several lightweight convenience implementations of
the generic components.
