To follow up with that thread, here is some more info on Hivemind. It indeed looks interesting. Lewis presentation can be found at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/~hlship/HiveMind.ppt Outside of the typical IoC support, I believe interesting features are: 1. The concept of interceptor which allows in a similar way than aspects to provide cross cutting points to services (though with quite more lightweight functionally). 2. Localization support: the ability to localize services (limited to 1 local per instantiation so not really for user localization but more for logs). 3. Substitution: The ability to provide configuration variable substitution at start up (for instance instantiate a service jdbc parameters through substitution from a main configuration point). 4. Hivedoc: Interesting to keep track of the service and their evolution. Lewis presentation does a good job at providing a good overview of the framework. Hivemind seems to have good arguments in its favor but may be difficult to wrap with CPS (mostly because of the work performed by the XML configurator). The XML configuration probably would have to be closely look at. If we decide to wrap Avalon with CPS, I believe it may still be worth it to explore the use of aspects. Any thougths on this?
