Well right now I'm trying not to make major decisions and just trying to upgrade to MINA 2.0. In doing this I noticed that some classes (which extend MINA classes) you created to make things work well with XBean are not broken because MINA has made their superior types final preventing extension. So I've looked back into the repository and found your old mina-xbean module and am trying to work that to create an XBean usable xsd for MINA. Perhaps this will help overcome some of the sticky issues with using simple Spring configuration. I noticed that XBean makes doing constructor injection and other things easier and clearer in general. So I'm just trying to do the minimum required to be able to migrate to 2.0 but it's not easy for me being a Spring/Xbean novice. It's great to be able to bounce things off you - appreciate your comments. Thanks. > > Sorry I don't know more > No worries this is good information. Hope you don't mind my pinging you occasionally as I attempt to do this. Feeling pretty dumb already :).
