Call it blocks, components, services, XXX, ...
I won't mind. I just would like to be able to get a new Instance of a XXX
without having to deal with its implementation or the life cycle.
Of course it would be nice if the thing doing this would be able to honor
the same configuration files as the container. Otherwise the break could be
too big.

I took a look at it but it seems not to support the same meta information
files as Phoenix (assembly.xml, *.xinfo) and it seems to be a totally new
container (no code reusage, ...).
But the thing that makes it a "no, no" to me is that it isn't in production
stage.
I switched to Phoenix because it is the only container that has a product
status and is quite modern so I don't have to fear every Avalon update.


I think I will take a look at making a simple generic factory or even very
simple non-generic factories.

OK, thanks alot,

Ole

P.S.: The concept of EOB looks nice. :-)
