Why decoupling to kernel?

[bill.burke]

I just saw your checkin for support for:

<classloader>

directly in MC schema. Shouldn't support for this be layered onto a base container rather than just built in? Much as our AOP stuff is layered? The MC at its core should be nothing more than a DI container with a state machine. The notion of classloader and such should be layered on top.

There is no classloader implementation in the Microcontainer.

The

<classloader/>

simply allows you to specify the classloader
for a deployment (or optionally but less likely a bean).

The Microcontainer will use this classloader when it does the instantiation of the class
or when it needs to resolve classes for other reasons (like creating values from strings).

Without the explicit classloader, it will just use the Thread context classloader.
