The way the processing pipelines look like should be configurable by the

that can be configured through Avalon's configuration mechanism. I just
don't know if that's right because in Phoenix this is up to the "application
assembler", while in the crawler this may well be a user's task. Components
may be dependent on global services, like a scheduler or a global host
manager.

Something I should have mentioned in my prev. email - you noted above the components may be depedent on global services like a scheduler or global host manager. These relationships are handled in the Avalon work though the implementation of the Avalon framework Servicable interface. Serviceable is a replacement of the previouse Composable interface - the difference being that you can service components with other objects that may have nothing to do with Avalon. This addition makes life dramatically easier if you are dealing with existing legacy applications, or systems developed independently of the Avalon componet model.

Cheers, Steve.
