Ulrich,

For the sake of example - can we talk in terms of Jesktop (my bizarre
GUI app hoster).  Jesktop hosts GUI apps that need Swing, some
DesktopKernel access and some "Frimble" access for abstraction of
Windowlike containment.


Sorry for this potentially dumb question: is Jesktop the way to integrate GUI apps into an Avalon setup? We have several GUI apps, but they are running seperately from our Avalon-based backend services.

It's a way. Jesktop is controvercial. Very in fact. With Rana's FtpServer we have an admin console that works in two ways : 1) standalone executable jar 2) Jesktop dependant app. Both are the same jar, and use RMI to interoperate with the server. Jesktop supports hot app installation and de-instalation, but is not ideal for a Phoenix instance you intend to run for days un-interrupted. For me its more about a PDA OS.

Regards,

- Paul H
