Naah - event driven approaches are an othogonal concept. While neat I doubt 
they will ever gain real popularity because of the difficulty of implementing 
them properly. The only real gain is for separating app layers and operating 
under sustained loads. I think it will gain a little on backend but threaded 
high level layered apis (ie Servlet API) are where it's at for 99% of 
programmers. 

Then again - I may be biased as I spent two years of my life debugging one of 
these messes ... errr systems ;) 

However that has nothing to do what I am talking about. What I am talking 
about is the implementation strategy for adding arbitary aspects to services. 
Need persistence? No problem. Need replication, clustering and 
synchronization? Doable. Need Instrumentation? Easy. Need to load Avalon 
"services" that wrap a web service - piece of piss. Need to persist the 
changes from this web service. Not a problem.
