Some time ago I opened an enhancement ticket http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18087
for a BeanFactory class. Currently it lives in the Mapper sandbox project as ObjectFactory but, IMHO, it really belongs in a bean oriented package like BeanUtils. The whole point of the class is to allow configurable (via a Map) object creation. You pass it a logical name, it gives you an instance of some Object. It takes all the pain out of dynamic object creation and is crucial to what packages like Mapper do. Anyways, I'd appreciate it if a BeanUtils committer would comment on this. As always, I'll support the code should it make it into BeanUtils (it already has some test cases :-).
