Javadoc Tags
|
Reference specification of the Javadoc Tags used to
support automation of component and service meta info
generation.
|
|
Type Model
|
The Avalon Meta Model defines the functional structure
of component types and services. A Type definition contains
information about deployment and runtime dependencies together
with information about the services that a
component type can provide.
|
|
Meta Generation Tools
|
Avalon provides a set of tools that automate the process
of generating meta-info descriptors. These tools provide
support for the generation of serializable and XML based
descriptors that are collocated with class files. Tool
support is available for Ant and Maven.
|
|
Meta Model API
|
Type and service meta models are established as
immutable objects that complement the classic information
available about a class. Using the Type and Service
descriptor classes, developers can be assured of greater
portability and interoperability of container-side applications.
