<section name="Avalon Component Service">
<p>
The Avalon Component service loads external modules which implement the
<a href="http://excalibur.apache.org/">Avalon</a> lifecycle interfaces.
</p>
<p>
The only supported component is <a href="http://db.apache.org/torque/">Torque</a>.
<a href="http://turbine.apache.org/fulcrum/">Fulcrum</a> components are
supported via the <a href="yaafi-component-service.html">Yaafi Component Service</a>.

services.AvalonComponentService.componentRoles = /WEB-INF/conf/roleConfiguration.xml
services.AvalonComponentService.lookup = org.apache.torque.avalon.Torque
]]></source>
<p>
In /WEB-INF/conf you should provide componentConfiguration.xml:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
<componentConfig>
<torque>
<configfile>/WEB-INF/conf/torque.properties</configfile>
</torque>
</componentConfig>
]]></source>
<p>
and roleConfiguration.xml:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
<role-list>
<role name="org.apache.torque.avalon.Torque"
shorthand="torque"
default-class="org.apache.torque.avalon.TorqueComponent" />
</role-list>
]]></source>
<p>
No changes to torque.properties are required.
</p>
<p>
If all goes well you should see the following in your log file when
Turbine starts up:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
...INFO...services.BaseServiceBroker - Added Mapping for Service: AvalonComponentService
...INFO...services.BaseServiceBroker - Start Initializing service (early): AvalonComponentService
...INFO...services.avaloncomponent.TurbineAvalonComponentService - Lookup for Component org.apache.torque.avalon.Torque successful
...INFO...services.BaseServiceBroker - Finish Initializing service (early): AvalonComponentService
]]></source>
</section>
<section name="Usage">
<p>
If you plan to use the decoupled Torque in your application, you should
leave the Avalon Component Service configured at all times. It is started at
early startup time. Once it has initialized all the components, there
are no application specific methods or services available.
