As for conversion we don't have that many existing services, and I plan on paying the price by converting as many as I can myself. Jeremy also had a helper class you could pass around that had mutable sets in them and you could build a final info from the helper, but I thought it was lame (still do). If something like this makes the inheritance code better you could write one, but using inheritance here seems like a bad idea to me (remember I generally hate inheritance).
Are you saying there should be no inheritance between objects involved in geronimo services? Say the EJB containers?
Nope, I saying inheritance usually bugs me, so it always seems like a bad idea.
How 'bout if you start with the web stuff? It has lots of shallow inheritance and is pretty simple otherwise. Maybe with an example I'll see what you are talking about. So far the mutable helper looks like a good idea to me, I'd like to see your alternative approach.
I was planing on starting with a few really simple services and then work to the more complex stuff.
