The reason I put this at Major is that I personally find debugging
Schema vs contribution vs custom Rules problems difficult to diagnose -
and this contributes to that difficulty.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: HIVEMIND-41
    Summary: No bounds checking in SchemaProcessorImpl stack
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

    Project: HiveMind
 Components: 
             framework
   Versions:
             1.0

   Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship
   Reporter: Steve Gibson

Description:
org.apache.hivemind.impl.SchemaProcessorImpl aggregates stack
functionality along with its other functions. This is achieved by a
java.util.List and some public methods.
Unfortunately, these methods do not perform bounds checking or a way to
check the size of thist stack. Java does do this, and throws
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, but the resulting exception seen in
client code looks like:
2004-08-06 13:22:31,959
com.cowww.test.commons.hivemind.RegistryFactoryTestCase [ERROR]
org.apache.hivemind.ApplicationRuntimeException: Unable to construct
configuration cowww.HibernateConfiguration: -1
java.util.Stack throws an EmptyStackException in this case, which is a
lot easier to diagnose without having to check the rootCause.

My opinion is that:
1. EmptyStackException is thrown
2. A method for checking the stack depth is added.
It may be easier to just use a Stack internally and make the pertinent
methods available to calling classes.
