[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBESB-476) Make action, listener etc configuration setting by setter method the default

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) Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 4.0 Reporter: Tom Fennelly Assigned To: Kevin Conner Fix For: 4.2.1 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.
