IMHO it would seem a good idea to separate it out into classes parallel with
the containers as Rickard says. Remember as much as you'd like this stuff
to be well documented, it isn't. I for one don't want to be picking through
some giant meta data structure trying to figure out which things should be
in use and which not.
Cheers

Absolutely, and why separate the containers into three separate ones? I
mean, cause like, "DaContainer" would work, right. And it would be,
like, awesome, coz it could do just about anything. You know. And then
and then, like when MessageBeans are implemented, right, it also goes
into DaContainer... like "Resistance is futile" and just assimilate its
bad butt. And then everything is like one class! Whoa! And its like
simple, because I only have to import One Class! YEAH!
Right.
Not.
Don't agree with you, but that's just my silly little OO-head talking.
And I'm not talking "extensive" hear, just two levels, just like the
containers.
