There are a number of controls features we're interested in implementing, such as @MessageBuffer and @Security, that involve:
1) Exposing a feature via new annotations in controls source files. 2) The need to provide container-specific implementations of those features. I've written a spec proposing the addition of an interceptor mechanism to the controls infrastructure to enable such features, using @MessageBuffer as an example. Please see: http://wiki.apache.org/beehive/Controls/AnnotationBasedFeatures Feedback would be great, especially from anyone interested in contributing to controls wrt adding features that could/would leverage this mechanism. Thanks!
