Theres quite a few things I would like to do if it weren't for backwards
compatability and this may be one of them ;)

My mistake. "#" and "[]" and postfixed to the type. If no role is specified
then it will default to the type but you can still remap it via something
like;
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<role>incoming-queues</role>
<service name="org.apache.MyService#"/>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
However if no role is specified it will default to the type (much like in
normal case).
