Hivemind showed up on the mavan 2 mojo plugin dev list a few days ago and I'm looking to give it a try as a replacement for my client side application container.
As far as I can tell, the project takes care of looking up the bits and pieces of an application very well. So far though, I haven't found a generic entry point for an application described by a particular hivemodule.xml. I've looked over several of the examples including the main() shown here: http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/bootstrap.html#Building+the+Registry What immediately comes to mind is that if Hivemind is a microkernel, why would custom code need to start the application up? Is it possible to define the startup service in the configuration file, i.e., the first service to instantiate which in turn looks up the others? Ideally the entry point to the application would be defined and the arguments would be obtainable from the microkernel by any module in the JVM. Let me know if I'm overlooking how this is approached. If it isn't, I'd like to discuss/contribute some time towards implementing such a thing so Hivemind can take care of this aspect of application development for me as well. There's not much sense in rewriting main()s that simply grab the registry, create an initial service and pass it arguments.
