Right. Well basically it could be a lack of documentation. For example,
while doing this refactoring of the formatter components in Tapestry,
I'd like to use a Translator-like approach to bind those to the
components in FormComponentEventWorker.
So I have this:
<contribution configuration-id="JsFormatters">
<bean name="number" class="NumberJsFormatter">
</bean>
<!-- <bean name="date" class="DateJsFormatter"/>
<bean name="mask" class="MaskJsFormatter"/>-->
</contribution>
But then, can I inject objects in that bean (for example a
IScriptSource)? What's the difference between a "bean" and a "service"?
Going further, what's a "contribution"? What's the difference between a
"configuration-point" and a "service-point"?
I know, in some cases it's just a case of "read the ... manual". But it
some other cases it isn't. And even if it is specified in the manual,
sometimes the information overload gets high. That's what I mean with
contrived. Of course, flexibility comes with a price. But well, even
though I know some basic things about Hivemind, it's definitively not a
easy one to use.
Or maybe it's just that I value more orthogonality and homogeneization
of frameworks before flexibility ;). Spring is much more homogeneous
(although some places of its code base are getting bloated). Hivemind
it's harder to assimilate.

What do you mean by contrived exactly? I sort of prefer hivemind to
spring myself, but I guess it ~is~ a matter of taste. I think it's
mostly because it has some additional functionality that spring just
doesn't have (like the thread handling), but also because - in Howards
description - Spring is a framework for building apps, while hivemind
is a framework for building frameworks.
