Yea, that was my thought. -----Original Message----- From: Luke Blanshard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
How would you get at such a service? What would your code cast it to? It couldn't be the bean's actual class, because it would probably be a proxy or interceptor. But the interface is not accessible at compile time. I think the framework could support it, but I don't think it would be usable in real life.
