<s1 title="Features">
<p>
Fortress provides a framework for you to easily create your
own application specific containers. We strive to make it
easy for you to do without sacrificing any power. Fortress
allows you to focus on the core issues in your system, without
worrying about the component management getting in your way.
</p>
<s2 title="Asynchronous Component Management">
<p>
Most component management functions don't take that long to
perform, but the time they do take can directly affect how
many requests your system can process at the same time. For
that reason, we use the CommandManager from the Event package
to manage our components. By moving all the management
functions to a limited number of background threads, we are
able to save you time in the critical processing path.
</p>
<p>
The CommandManager can be extended to your components as well.
That way, your components can perform management tasks in the
background as well. Fortress will likely be your choice of
containers if you have strict performance constraints.
</p>
</s2>
<s2 title="Extensible Lifecycle">
<p>
Fortress has support for an experimental feature that allows
you to extend your component lifecycle in an application
specific manner. If it proves to be a truly useful feature,
other Avalon containers will adopt it.
</p>
</s2>
<s2 title="Instrumentation">
<p>
Fortress is integrated with the Instrumentation package so
you can get a graphical view of the health of your system
at runtime. We integrate sampling points for each of the
component handlers so that you can see how many component
instances each handler is responsible for. Using that
information, you can tune your container more intelligently.
