Is it possible to dynamically add blocks without specifying them in the

ConnectionManager, which
   

is defined in the assmebly.xml file. There is also a set of connectors,
which are not defined in the assembly file but derived at runtime. The
connectors will implement a number of Avalon interfaces including
Serviceable, Configurable, Initializable and Startable.
Is it possible to configure these blocks including their dependencies at
runtime.
     

Yes to all of the above...
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/merlin
CVS: jakarta-avalon-excalibur/assembly
   

can I do it using the Phoenix container?
 

No, but you can run Merlin as an application inside Phoneix and put you 
components under the Merlin container hierachy.  Merlin will take care 
of automatic assembly and you can do the dynamic installation of 
components on-the-fly with full depedency resolution.

Cheers, Steve.
