The Component service loads external modules which implement the org.apache.stratum.lifecycle Interfaces for use with Turbine 2.
Main usage for this are the Torque and Fulcrum components of the Turbine project.
As Turbine-2 now uses the decoupled Torque, you must initialize Torque at startup. Fulcrum is currently not integrated in Turbine-2.2 but you can use some services from it.
As of version 2.3 Turbine now provides an Avalon Component Service that can be used to configure Torque. In future releases additional components will be migrated to Avalon components, most likely as part of Fulcrum. Turbine 2.3.3 also provides a Yaafi Component Service for hosting components in a Fulcrum Yaafi container. The ComponentService and it's implementing class, TurbineComponentService, are deprecated in favor of the Avalon and Yaafi component services - it will not be included in releases of Turbine beyond 2.3.
