I have a question on the behavior of ComponentFactory.newInstance() when you inject a reference target dynamically.
I have a factory component that has a unary mandatory reference to some service, but the target is intentionally left blank (so I can provide it dynamically). When I instantiate a specific instance, I want to pass in a particular type so this specific instance can bind to the right service instance. The code snippet is at http://bit.ly/dy8kFy. I am basically adding a property for "service.target" = "(type=foo)", so at runtime this binds specifically to a service instance of type=foo. Will this pattern work? Also, if so, how does ComponentFactory.newInstance() behave if that service is not registered yet? Will it fail immediately or will it block/wait until that particular service is registered? In a bigger context, I'm trying to see if I can use this pattern as a way to "compel" a specific service with a type dynamically at runtime. Is there a better pattern to compel a specific service type dynamically? Thanks much! Regards, Sangjin
