Re: [HiveMind] extend BuildFactory to use static fields/methods

[Christian Essl]

That's very good (and fast implemented). But do you realy have to do the 
double-check on the class. I mean the user sees anyway what class it is 
from the JavaDoc and HiveMind will always check that it fits the Service 
interface.

Sure if the static field changes this ensures consistency, but on the other 
hand it would be also very convient to change all services referenced but 
just changing the static field without the need to go into the module.

I have created a copy of the hivemind.BuilderFactory service which allows

to write:

<invoke-factory service-id="my.BuilderFactory">
<construct class="foo.Bar" static-field="foo.Bar.INSTANCE"/>
</invoke-factory>
given that I have something like:

package foo;
public interface Bar {
static final INSTANCE = new BarImpl();
}
The class attribute is used to check that the object specified by the
static-field is of a given type, which is an interface in this example.
--knut

That's certainly a good idea.
