First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone, as I am new to this list, and new to the Avalon project so forgive me if I make any undue assumptions. I love the work so far, and am here to (hopefully) make some worthwhile contributions, and get a jump on the upcoming releases.
With that aside .... To solve the "Object" problem ... Why not add an "ObjectManager" interface that uses the "resolve()" idea from earlier? Whereas the new RI class would be called ExcaliburObjectManager and extend ExcaliburComponentManager implementing the ObjectManager interface. e.g.: ExcaliburObjectManager manager; /* horrendous code here */ Object o = manager.resolve(thisObject); Component c = manager.lookup(thisComponentPleaseKindSir); Not sure what its implications are to the project.
