Dears,

my question is simple: Am I right?

I'm brain new to the Avalon stuff and the like. I didn't yet downloaded the 
whole bunch of docs, but I read the "Developing With Apache Avalon" pages ( 
http://avalon.apache.org/developing/index.html ) as well as some FAQs.

From these "Developing" pages it seems that 'data' is something has few to do 
with Avalon. It seems that Components supply the enterprise/business methods, 
which may eventually accept/result in data. As a result, every effort in 
maintain data instances unique would be from the user application. It seems 
to me that Avalon has no support for primary-key/data bindings, in example.

Also, I found few words about transactional support in Avalon. It seems to me 
that it is not possible to enforce a Commit-All-Or-Rollback-All design to 
Avalon Components, at least with the current design of connections and 
components relationships.

I'm asking this because I have to face the design of an application which 
strongly relies on a db as a data repository. I was first tempted to use a 
J2EE container system (OpenEJB) to develop it, next I 'discovered' the Avalon 
Project and I was wondering about the limits of both frameworks.

Thank you,
