Body:
The problem with requiring that a service be declared to "handle" all
contributions to a configuration is that maybe you don't really WANT to have
another service out there in the registry available to everyone. All you
really need to do is some initialization logic to do something with those
contributions once they're registered. Maybe come up with a
ConfigurationManager interface...
public interface ConfigurationManager
{
public void setContributions( Collection contributions );
}
That way, it's not a real "service", but it is instantiated and managed by
HiveMind. Does that sound reasonable? Am I way off here?
p.s. I didn't know if this is the correct place for discussing something like
this or not. There is no mailing list for HiveMind yet (at least I couldn't
find it), but I wanted to get some feedback on the idea.

Key: HIVEMIND-11
Summary: getConfiguration missing from Registry Interface
Type: Bug
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Project: HiveMind
Components:
framework
Versions:
1.0

Description:
The getConfiguration method is no longer present in the registry interface but
has been moved to RegistryInfrastructure.
That change made dealing with the registry unintuitive, retrieving a
configuration requires some good guesswork, especially since the documentation
is not uptodate.
Let's have a look how the documentation must change, this reveals some of the
difficulties. Current documentation:
Registry registry = . . .;
List elements = registry.getConfiguration("com.myco.MyConfig");
Simple and clean. Instead we need a reference to RegistryInfrastructure.
Only solution is a cast:
List elements = ( (RegistryInfrastructure) registry
).getConfiguration("com.myco.MyConfig");
Besides beeing unintuitive, there is no contract, that ensures that the
Registry object additionally implements RegistryInfrastructure!
IMHO, dealing with two different interfaces for the most basic tasks is no good
idea.
Howard, you already admitted on the mailing list, that you 'probably have been
overly zealous in removing getConfiguration()'
Please restore the method.
