Nik,
I would like to get this change in within the next week or so. Do you want
to look it, as you already working on validate()? Or would this mean you
need an extra 3 hours in the day ;-)
The 3 extra hours a day goes to rolling back the Manager.validate() changes :-/
PS. 12.6 still has a reference to it:
"
If a bean registered with a child container has the bean type and all
bindings of some injection point of some bean registered
with a direct or indirect parent container, a DeploymentException is
throw by the container when validate() is
called upon the Manager object that represents the child container.
