+ <title>JBoss Microcontainer Highlights</title>
+ <para>The primary focus of the MC is as a framework for
+ building server kernels. It replaces the legacy JMX based kernel
+ found in JBossAS4.x and earlier with a POJO based kernel that
+ has been generalized to better support extensibility along the
+ primary aspects required for a server type of environment: aop, metadata,
+ class loading, deployments, state management, lifecycle/dependcies, configuration,
+ and management. The use of the term server should not be correlated with
+ large memory/cpu requirment environments of typical application/web servers.
+ A server in the context of the MC is just a kernel for plugging POJO
+ container models into. The MC can be configured for extremely lightweight
+ application type setups like a junit testcase as well as full feature
+ application servers.

+ <para>Design discussion occur in the <ulink url="http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=main&c=18">JBoss POJO Developers Forums</ulink>.
+ This currently includes 3 sub-forums:
+ <ulink url="http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=204">Design the new POJO MicroContainer</ulink>
+ (the core MC projects independent of any particular usage),
+ <ulink url="http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=208">Design of POJO Server</ulink>
+ (discussions related to application server environments like JBossAS, JBossESB),
+ <ulink url="http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=256">Design of OSGi Integration</ulink>
