The interface vs. pojo argument rages on. I hope, in 3.1, to have a way of building POJOs using something like BuilderFactory. One name for these is "resources", I kind of prefer "beans" ... distrinct from services.
Services will have a more complex life cycle, and can be intercepted, and can be instantiated on first use (rather than first reference). It is true that you can "intercept" a class, creating a proxy that's really a subclass, with every method overriden in some way. That how EasyMock Class Externsion works, but I'm dubious. Forces you to use bytecode enhancement to do interception, rather than JDK proxies. For me, part of the distinction between an object (a POJO, a bean, whatever name you like) and a service is that a service implements an interface.
