T5: Stateful lifecycle for services

[Paul Cooley <pe...@gmail.com>]

All:
I am replacing an existing avalon framework implementation for my company.
The current framework has the ability to keep stateful services given a
token.  Much of the code in our systems depends on this functionality and
the framework runs as both a standalone application as well as within rmi
servers and http web containers.  In looking through the source code, I
noticed that services are loaded with a specific lifecycle (threaded or
singleton).  Is it possible to create a stateful lifecycle and then plug
this in?  I know it flies in the face of the traditional SOA components
(sorry for the buzzword), but this is a feature we have to have in order to
avoid rearchitecting/implementing our entire technology stack.  Since we
don't always have a thread id (although I could use the token to set the
ThreadLocal id), I need a mechanism to store associate the pojo services
with the token provided via login.

Cheers.
