avalon and soap

[fanyun]

Hi all:

After study avlon for 1 week, I feel it provide a way programmer can build seperated 
software blocks and configure them to work together using XML.  I wonder is it just 
like using Soap Services to build application.  Or like the way EJB works.


Can any one explain what is the difference between these 3:   Avalon, Soap, EJB


Regards
