A while back I checked the patch for TUSCANY-2281 in and part of this change was the extension of the ComponentContext API. This would seem to be incompatible with the spec license so I would like to propose a further change;
1/ Create a TuscanyComponentContext interface which extends ComponentContext and holds the new APIs for retrieving reference collections. 2/ Have the RuntimeComponentContext extend the TuscanyCompoentContext interface 3/ When you need to use the new APIs you have to cast to the TuscanyComponentContext Collection<Crawler> crawlers = ((TuscanyComponentContext)componentContext).getServices(Crawler.class, "crawlers"); As an optimization we could look at having the injectors inject TuscanyComponentContext if this is specified to remove the need to do the cast. Thoughts? Regards Simon
