Still seems like the BeanFactory is not as integrated as it could be, for example, showing up at the BeanMetaData level in place of a ctor. It's deliberately "not as integrated as it could be". Because I want you to be able to write your own BeanMetaDataFactory to do whatever you like, e.g. see the VFSClassLoaderFactory in the new classloaders. If you can't write your own then theres something wrong with the rest of the api. ;-) The beanfactory/GenericBeanMetaDataFactory is just an example that happens to live in the MC codebase and xml namespace. :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4138016#...
