RE: [Springframework-developer] Remaining bean factory suggestions?

[Mark P. <mar...@co...>]

Hi,

I was thinking to add this myself, but you are so quick at implementing
stuff maybe you would like to do it.  I really need (and added to my own
private branch) "Services" like functionality to have some classes go
through a full service lifecycle after all beans have been initialized.
These are for things like starting up a JMS connection and a JMX agent.
We spoke about this in the past, I could contribute my code and move it
in line with the suggestions you had in the past (if I could dig up that
email...)  I finally have time to devote to spring this week after a
long busy period..., so maybe we can agree on the format/scope if you
think it is a good idea.  I am using spring outside an app server
context, where these "mini-server" like issues are important.  Other
frameworks have them, Avalon and pico-container plus others I'm sure...

I envision something like this,

A Service interface, just like the JBoss one.  A specially named bean
"Services" that will have a comma delimited list of other bean names to
run through the lifecycle.

The interface is optional, you can also specify the method signatures
for "init, start, stop, dispose".  There is some overlap here with
integrating JMX, not only since the JMX agent should be started after
all beans are initialized but the services are typically to be managed
by JMX. =20



Cheers,
Mark

Everybody,

1.0 M3 already introduced significant reworkings and new features in the
bean factory / application context area, like support for autowiring.
1.0 M4 will go one step further, factoring out bean definition readers
into separate objects that work on a bean factory, and offering
autowiring of existing bean instances. After the M4 release in about a
week, our next goal is 1.0 RC1 in early January.

On this occasion, I'd like to ask if we have missed any enhancements in
this area that have been suggested on the mailing lists or forums, not
only in terms of bean factory functionality but also in terms of
extensibility and pluggability. You're invited to check out the current
CVS contents, in particular the changelog, to find out what has already
been addressed. I've also tried to answer all corresponding mails and
postings - if something's left, please yell!
