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.

Thanks

Vikas

This is the route I went.  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.
