You seem to be describing a different container style,
like Phoenix or Spring. That should largely be
immaterial to the James core.
Except for object lifecycle management. Lightweight
(non-intrusive) containers have little lifecycle
management (picocontainer e.g. has start(), stop() and
dispose()). The differences in lifecycle management
should be isolated in container dependent lifecycle
management adaptors.
The Groovyscript seems to be done. Pick your favorite
container and write the configurator for it. I
personally use/like picocontainer. Given the current
architecture of James, main can be written with a
MutablePicoContainer in place of groovyscript.
BYO(DPI)C. Bring your own (dependency-injection)
container.
