Korosh, Thanks for your reply. I'm looking into Merlin tutorials.
My ultimate aim is u make components to use with a webapp that is using turbine. And I have been told ( by others who are working on turbine stuff) that turbine and related projects heavily use Excalibur. But there seems to be no specific tutorials for Excalibur. I'm going to learn Merlin to get an idea of how things work. But I would appreciate if some one has any Excalibur specific sample app or tutorial which I could look at.

It made for fairly easy transition. I looked at Avalon's documentation IOC and SOC patterns to underestand underlying patterns used and the reasoning. I read the documentaiton on containers, services and components to grasp the reasoning behind them. I then digged into the Merlin Container(as opposed to Phoenix) and read the documentation at: http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/starting/index.html I build from CVS, went through Using of Merlin: http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/starting/tutorial/index.html Make sure you read the tutorials while you go through this documentation. It would help to pull in the tutorials into your IDE and examine the examples, make changes and run them to get a good grasp of how to create services. Then you can pull the avalon-sandbox/template project from CVS or download from: http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/template/template-1.0.zip this gives you a basic template that you can change as the starting point for your own development projects for applications being deployed to Merlin container. I found Merlin to be easier and light weight than Phoenix. hope this helps. Korosh.
