I haven't used Hivemind, but I am going to suggest this anyways :
couldn't you just provide a service that returns the exception
"getServiceX()"
and another that returns null "getService()"?
Then it would be up to the user of the API which one they used.

use Doug Lea's util.concurrent library (is free,
works fine on early JDKs, and is now java.util.concurrent in JDK 1.5) is
highly popular, reliable, and full-featured.
