User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Undemanding Dependencies": http://community.jboss.org/message/521548#521548 Author : Adrian Brock Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/adrian@jboss.org Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- You could make a configuration option, e.g. something like   Require both dependencies to start:   <bean name="A" mode="On Demand">    <property name="b"><inject bean="B" transitive-start="required"/></property>    <property name="c"><inject bean="C" transitive-start="required"/></property> <bean>   Any one   <bean name="A" mode="On Demand">    <property name="b"><inject bean="B" transitive-start="optional"/></property>    <property name="c"><inject bean="C" transitive-start="optional"/></property> <bean>   But unless starting A triggers some other knock-on effects, the second example is likely to stall with a missing dependency anyway. ;-) So I think you'd probably want all the dependencies marked transitive-start anyway? -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521548#521548
