Nope. If you look at the DefaultSocketManager.java file it has a @avalon.service tag; @avalon.service type="org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.services.sockets.SocketManager" which is written in to the DefaultSocketManager.xinfo file. Merlin reads that and by that knows the Type of the DefaultSocketManager.
