Further to my last mail I think it could be possible to have a module method convention like:
public static com.acme.service.MyService bindByConfiguration() { } This would look for a symbol "com.acme.service.MyService" based on the return type and use a variant on the ConstructorServiceCreator to instantiate the service. Or perhaps a ServiceBinder.bind(MyService.class, "the.symbol.name.for.impl.class") method would work. It seems a bit tidier. Either should be possible since ServiceBuilderMethodInvoker is able to resolve symbols as parameters via InternalUtils.calculateParametersForMethod. It's just that the current code/encapsulation level isn't really geared for what I want to do -- I need a bit of both ConstructorServiceCreator and ServiceBuilderMethodInvoker. But I'll keep digging.

I highly suggest you to build a chain of command or a strategy pattern depending on service type and let the IoC do the work for you. -- Massimo http://meridio.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
