>From what I saw, this would probably impact dependency and service. A
solution could be as follows:
<service
type="blah.foo:1.0:role_hint" />
then on dependency
<dependency
role="blah.foo/my_role"
type="blah.foo:1.0:role_hint" />
This would allow a service to be dependent on a particular implementation of
a given service without a lot of
impact to the entire meta-data structure.
Additionally, I also have a question about embedding Merlin in a servlet.
Is there a way to embed it that does not require url's for service
resolution? We have some non-avalon objects
that use the services and i was wondering if there was an easier way to get
them to talk

Yes.
Basically we can easily inlude meta-data directives that select
components by name. The implementation of this would apply an internal
selector automatically. This is a feature that has been requested by a
couple of people - all that needs to be done is some thinking about the
meta-data declarations - because basically, what we would be declararing
would be selection constraints.
Cheers, Steve.
