The question is that if we have plug-compatability then what is the point
of having multiple implementations? (besides keeping massive scalability).
If we have a plug in point then each framework will only expose a certain
limited amount of functionality (lowest common denominator approach) or
else they use a generic method of setting implementation specific pramaters
(JNDIs approach). If we use the second approach then how much has the
abstract gained us ?
Cheers,
