[coldspring-dev] "private" beans and integrating with MachII/ModelGlue

[Jon Gunnip]

Hey,
I have been experimenting with CS over the past week, and I have two 
questions:

1) Is there a way to make a bean "private" so that it can be used to 
construct other beans, but is not accessible externally by getBean()?  For 
example, I have a database connection object that gets passed into a few 
different constructors, but I don't want a user to be able to retrieve the 
database object directly from the factory via getBean().

2) I am using MachII and I think I would like to have one factory XML file 
for my Model and one XML file for instantiating the Model components in my 
Mach-II listeners.  The factory for the Listeners would call getBean() on 
the factory generated for the Model.  I believe this would make testing the 
Model easier and improve documentation concerning what is necessary for the 
Model and what is necessary for Mach-II.  How would I implement this?

Thanks,
Jon
