Parts of Avalon are server-specific but most of Avalon can be used in the client. For instance the LogKit and Framework parts of Avalon can easily be used by clients (and I do in many cases). Parts of Excalibur are useful for clients (like the command line option parsing) while some is less useful (object/thread/jdbc pools are rarely needed by the client). So it really depends on which part you refer to. LogKit, Framework and some of Excalibur are useful in a client context while other parts are less so. -- Cheers, Pete ------------------------------------------------------ Mark Twain: "In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place at the right time.
