So I'm hacking away on the ConfigFactory around where it creates
Connector, TransactionManager, SecurityService, etc... I just have to
say, boy is this code ugly. I seemed to remember it being a lot
nicer when I wrote it in SlickEdit back in 2001 :) But man...sure is
fun to refactoring it with Intellij.
I swear, refactoring your old code is like programmer crack.

So this kind of idea has been in my head for a while. Basically,
the idea is for an interactive assembler implementation which
people could call to add/remove containers, resources, and beans at
runtime. We'd also use it to support other services which could
now also do the same.
The classic assembler is a one-shot builder, it constructs
everything and it's job is done. What I'm imagining the Dynamic
Assembler to be is more of an API for people who want to make calls
to build up and add to the container system at runtime. It'd
leverage the InfoObject tree we have now to allow people to do
things like:
addContainer(ContainerInfo info)
addEjbJar(EjbJarInfo info)
addResource(ResourceInfo info)
There would be equivalent methods for removing any of the above.
We might even have equivalent overloaded versions that might look
like this:
addContainer(String id, Class impl, String type, Properties
containerProps)
addEjbJar(org.apache.openejb.EjbJar ejbJar)
addEjbJar(URL jarLocation)
addResource(URL jdbcUrl)
Not a completely flushed out idea, just kind of brain storming and
looking for feedback.
