All, How about this? You can define a service point with nothing but the interface! Consider this example:
<service interface="com.myco.service.MyService" /> First, HiveMind will default the service point id to "MyService." Then, HiveMind will look for a default implementation class called "com.myco.service.impl.MyServiceImpl" and try to use BuilderFactory to build a default, autowired instance. I've found that this is my typical scenario. This way, you can cut out a LOT of XML. What do you think? James
