This would let me mixin two interfaces, and compose together one or more classes that implement those interfaces into a single class, without writing all those nasty degating methods, and having my code break when a new method is added to one of the interfaces. Well, remember that @Composes is a *competing proposal* to @Prototype. * @Composes *is* totally decoupled from @Produces * @Prototype doesn't have anything to do with proxying/delegation They're actually quite different features, that just happen to both provide a solution to a common problem: creating reusable classes that present a set of "identities" to clients. -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
