For the time being, I think we settled on the direct approach:
interface ServiceManager
{
/**
* Return component for the specified role. If there are more than
* one components for the role, return the default.
*/
Object lookup(String role);
/**
* Return component for the specified role. If there are more than
* one components for the role, use the supplied parameters to determine
* which one. If the parameters do not help, return the default.
*/
Object lookup(String role, Parameters params);
/**
* Returns true if the ServiceManager has at least one instance of a
* role.
*/
boolean hasComponent( String role );
/**
* Release a sepecific component.
*/
void release(Object component);
}
