Make action, listener etc configuration setting by setter method the default
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBESB-476
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-476
             Project: JBoss ESB
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Tom Fennelly
         Assigned To: Mark Little
             Fix For: 4.2


We currently configure everything by constructor.  This is not great for a number of reasons:

1. It can't be compile time validated.

2. Not as "obvious" to someone developing against the API.  If in an interface, their IDE (or at least compiler - if using a stone ax) will complain immediately that they're not implementing the interface correctly.

3. Makes our code a little bit more complicated re the reflection code that needs to be implemented.

So I suggest making the interface (that all these things implement) contain a setter method that takes the config.  The mandate on the implementation is that they contain a public default constructor.
