Classloader issues (the Java version of DLL hell). James is a Phoenix
sar, so it already runs on Phoenix (no problems at all). However Tomcat
doesn't. It has some classloader issues that just are not nice.

For non-blocking IO, you have to use either NBIO or java.nio. While
there are not papers on asynchronous programming with avalon, we do have
event queue implementations inspired by Matt Welsh's SEDA. He has some
papers that are very good--but they focus more on the results of
asynchronous event oriented programming than the actual mechanics of how
to do it.

yes. There are *some* issues we are working out, but avalon as a whole
is working with JDK 1.4.
