[hibernate-dev] ServiceRegistry naming

[Steve Ebersole]

Currently we utilize 3 different ServiceRegistry types within Hibernate 
and I wanted to hopefully get some consensus on their names.

1) org.hibernate.service.internal.BootstrapServiceRegistryImpl.  It 
contains services that have to be known up front.  Currently this is 
limited to ClassLoaderService and IntegratorService.  Personally I think 
this one is already perfectly named per its intent/purpose.

2) org.hibernate.service.internal.BasicServiceRegistryImpl.  The naming 
of this one has caused some confusion for at least one person I know. 
And I agree that the naming here is not best.  Some other names proposed 
have been "standard service registry" or "main service registry".  This 
is the main registry in that it holds most of the services.  It has the 
bootstrap registry as its parent, and the 
SessionFactoryServiceRegistryImpl uses this as its parent.

3) org.hibernate.service.internal.SessionFactoryServiceRegistryImpl. 
This is responsible for holding services that need access to the 
SessionFactory during their init.  Again, I think this is a good name 
for its function, but am open to other suggestions.  BTW, currently this 
only includes the event listener service though I see this expanding a 
little as we finish up the metamodel changes to include a few more services.

A related discussion, if we decided to rename any of these, is whether 
that renaming warrants another CR release.
