<title>Avalon</title>
<description>
The Avalon project is Apache's Java Server Framework. It is
separated into five sub projects: Framework, Excalibur, LogKit,
Cornerstone, and Phoenix. Its purpose is to simplify
server side programming for Java based projects. It
formalizes serveral best of breed practices and patterns for
server side programming.

<para>
The Avalon Framework formalizes the contracts and patterns used in the
other Avalon projects. It is derived from modern software engineering
techniques and aims to provide a solid basis on which to build server
products.

<para>
What that means is that we define the central interface Component. We
also define the relationship (contract) a component has with peers,
ancestors and children. This documentation introduces you to those
patterns, interfaces, and relationships.

<para>
The Avalon Framework raises the abstraction level from Object-Oriented
Programming concept one notch to the Component-Oriented Programming
model. This enables programmers to concern themselves with assemblies
of classes, rather than the classes themselves--thus reducing the
number of things the programmer must keep in mind, and speeding up
application development.
</para>
<para>
The Avalon Framework is already used in
<ulink uri="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon";>Cocoon</ulink>, an XML
publishing framework. The Avalon Framework is also used in
<ulink uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/james";>Apache JAMES</ulink>, a
Java(tm) Mail Server. Another project that is built on Avalon Framework
is <ulink uri="http://www.jesktop.org";>Jestkop</ulink>, a cross-platform
replacement for your ordinary desktop. If you are evaluating Avalon
and want the proof that it's claims are valid check them out.
