Well, there hasn't been much, we've been focusing on 1.1.1. I'm not satisified with my attempt to convert to Maven2 (in my branch).
But the experiment is useful, I'm going to take another crack at it, on the trunk. I'm going to remerge 1.1.1 changes into the trunk, then convert to Maven2 (but leave all the source folder locations as is, for the meantime). On the other hand, I'm getting into crunch mode with a client, so I won't be able to do a lot with HiveMind for the next few weeks. I do have a number of ideas I want to pursue for 1.2: - <module> attribute to control the default builder factory - A streamlined, smarter injection factory - <interceptor-sets> ... a way to apply a set of interceptors to many services (potentially, across many modules) - Some kind of negotiation between the service extention point, service lifecycle model, and service implementation builder to handle negoation on the lifecycle model (i.e., to allow it to be determined via an annotation on the implementation class), and to handle the intracacies of event notification support for non-singleton models. In addition, I want to start introducing an alternate approach to creating services, one that invokes Java code to build the service implementation. This may be based on annoations and/or naming conventions. I see this ultimately as a way to reduce the amount of XML in the system, make HiveMind more refactoring friendly, and improve startup time for complex environments like Tapestry. I want to seriously considering bumping the minimum release for HiveMind 1.2 up to JDK 1.5, so that we can embrace annotations. I've been doing some research on using annotations (on service interfaces and service interface methods), rather than XML, to drive interceptor factory behavior. I'm quite liking it; I've been taking my own crack at Hibernate integration, using an @Transactional method interceptor rather than XML to indicate how transactions are managed for a service method. I'm finding this to be a good template to move forward. Yes, I know I should document these ideas on the wiki. I'm in a hotel room right now, not at home. -- Howard M.
