The idea Knut proposed was that you come up with a single place to ask for your HiveMind registry...
public class HiveMindRegistry { private static final Regisry instance = RegistryBuilder.constructDefaultRegistry(); public static Registry getInstance() { return instance; } } Then, in your singleton service's getInstance() method: public static MyService { public static MyService getInstance() { return ( MyService )HiveMindRegistry.getInstance().getService(MyService.class); } } Of course, in a real dependency injection-oriented system, you'd just declare setters for the MyService and HiveMind would inject it for you rather than looking up the singleton using a getInstance() method. But, Catalin said that she wanted to gradually migrate to HiveMind, so I guess that's not possible. -----Original Message----- From: karthik.nar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 3:20 AM To: user@hivemind.apache.org Subject: Re: Using Hivemind in an existing application catalin, were you able to figure a way to use a static method in point#2 below? 2. In point two, I meant some sort of <create-object> that uses a static getInstance method instead of calling the constructor. i have a requirement where i want to pass a new instance of an apache commons Log object from the Logger in the <invoke-factory> <construct class=blah> <set-object property="log" value="instance:@[EMAIL PROTECTED]()" /> </construct> </invoke-factory> I've not be able to figure out how to do it! <set-object property="log" value="instance:@[EMAIL PROTECTED]()" /> or <set-object property="log" value="instance:org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLog()" /> or anything else?! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Using-Hivemind-in-an-existing-application-tf165498.htm l#a6790990 Sent from the Hivemind - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
