That's my main issue ATM, the resolution

I'd see the config "solution/JSR" to provide a way to configure a
Configuration instance (can be with annotation for CDI or whatever but
finally it builds a Configuration) then let the framework you integrate
with (CDI if we continue previous example) to contextualize it.

What does it mean?

- it will work with spring/guice/standalone/cdi/OSGi
- you can configure multiple configurations
- you never hit a "key" issue on the config side and delegates this problem
to the framework you work with which already solved it which will avoid to
mix resolution between frameworks
