Thanks that really helps. Is just defining the top level interface enough, e.g.
interface MyAutoBeanFactory extends AutoBeanFactory { AutoBean<IPayload> payload(); } Or would I need to include factory methods for all nested interfaces contained/referenced by IPayload? E.g. interface MyAutoBeanFactory extends AutoBeanFactory { AutoBean<IPayload> payload(); AutoBean<IGWTMessage> message(); AutoBean<IGWTInitializationMessage> initializationMessage(); AutoBean<IGWTViewInstruction> viewInstruction(); AutoBean<IGWTViewReference> viewReference(); AutoBean<IGWTViewInstructionParameter> viewInstructionParameter(); AutoBean<IGWTViewInstructionResult> viewInstructionResult(); } Regarding AutoBeans not supporting arrays, if I can get it to support my data structure types, I can convert the logic to use a List instead of the array.
