HiveMind really is similar to the framework you described in the article --- honest, I never saw your article before!
For me, HiveMind is about eliminating boring plumbing code, like the static factory classes. HiveMind is the uber-factory. It's also the inter-jar glue and does all your XML parsing for you. ... looks like you have another article to write! Dion at TSS was looking for an article on HiveMind; perhaps we should hook you guys up (or anyone else who wants to take a crack). My dance card is full right now. -- Howard M.
