I know of at least 2 off the top of my head : Scheduler, GlobalCache. 
Someone else know a 
third?

So to this point, this is kinda what it may look like - 

public interface Service {

  public void setName(String name);

  public String getName();

  public void init(Object ob);

  public Object get(); 

  public void set(Object ob); //I can do an ADD and UPDATE here if
needed

  public void release(Object ob);       

  public boolean execute() throws ServiceException;

  public void destroy();

}

It's getting closer.  Here's what I see - 

Service developer - Low level. Gotta think about it. what's a get, set,
release, execute, etc... mean
to my service and how does my service fit that mold.

Service user - No brainer. service.init(o) - service.execute() ...
later!


On track?
