Yeah Emmanuel this is what I was thinking. Except I want to stop using the "Bean" suffix on classes and identifiers. Why? Because we all know they are beans. Even the components are beans though and that's ambiguous to me. Why not just say config instead and it's understood that this is just a value object (a bean) used for the configuration info. BTW one other point. Builders can have some member properties that impact the way they build. However most often we're not going to deal with any. And in this case the need to have an instance of a builder is moot I think now but who knows. So why not just have a configuration builder static method that builds the config bean hierarchy to have simpler code like so: DirectoryServiceConfig dsConfig = DirectoryServiceConfigBuilder.build( dsConfigDn ); DirectoryService ds = DirectoryServiceBuilder.build( dsConfig ); ds.startup(); WDYT ? - akarasulu ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
