I must say that I agree. When I first started to dig into Avalon/Excalibur so that I could write some Cocoon components it was pretty painful. The cocoon stuff was pretty clear but the avalon side of things was very weak. Things have improved a little, but not much IMHO.

All I'm trying to do is write a small component and run it from a main program. I think if any of the enlightened souls here could write just a tutorial that beginners like me could follow to just create a Hello World component and use it from a main program, it would be of tremendous help. I don't care what container I use at this moment. All the theory is great but absolute beginners would only be able to appreciate that theory if they are able to build something. That small hello world printing on the command line would give tons of motivation to proceed with learning more. Atleast I think so. A beginner can't appreciate the difference between various containers and frameworks and stuff. All that theory is great but becomes a little overwhelming if you can't practically build something. So if some one could just show direction, provide with a learning path that would be awesome. And I think telling people to download from CVS and build first is not so great too. To start with if they can just get the jars and use those to write something and make it work,then they would be motivated to do all the complex stuff. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
