Hi all, I am quite new to using Fortress (or more generally Avalon). What I am trying to do at the moment is loading up multiple components each with there own seperate class loader. From looking through the source of Fortress and through documentation (where available) I feel that to do this I will need to make a hierarchy of containers with each component that requires a seperate class loader to be loaded into a different container.
If this isn't the case please let me know that I am heading down the completely wrong path. Otherwise what I was wondering was how to setup a hierarchy of containers. From the documentation it says: "Part of the design concept for Fortress heirarchical containers is to use a ContainerManager to make sure all the necessary services are set up and running. For example, the Fortress container needs a CommandManager--so the ContainerManager checks to see if it is already set up and uses it. That way we can have one Container that has one or more ContainerManagers that all use the kernel level services of the parent container." So does this mean that infact there is only one Fortress container which has multiple ContainerManager's, or is this text missleading in that respect. To give you more of an idea of what I am wanting to do I was thinking of the following: * main container loads up, it's xconf has information on what other containers to initialise, and where to read their xconf's from (and what classpath to set on the container) * each of these child containers is loaded into that parent container If you could be of some help it would be greatly appreciated.
