Confusing exception message when service could not be found

["Liebig, Stefan " <St...@compeople.de>]

I am a little bit confused by the message of an exception thrown when
a service could not properly be created.
To show this I created the following hivemind (snippet):
 
 <service-point id="ServiceAWithAW" interface="test.IService">
  <invoke-factory>
   <construct class="test.ServiceA" autowire-services="true">
    <service>moved.ServiceB</service>
   </construct>
  </invoke-factory>
 </service-point>
 
 <service-point id="ServiceAWithoutAW" interface="test.IService">
  <invoke-factory>
   <construct class="test.ServiceA" autowire-services="false">
    <service>moved.ServiceB</service>
   </construct>
  </invoke-factory>
 </service-point>
 
 
 <service-point id="ServiceB" interface="test.IService">
 <!-- Refactoring/typing error/.. caused that this service is
      no longer referenced by the services above!! -->
  <create-instance class="test.ServiceB"/>
 </service-point>

When requesting service ´ServiceAWithAW´ (autowire-services="true") I got the exception:
 
org.apache.hivemind.ApplicationRuntimeException: Unable to construct service spirit.core.base.microkernel.hivemind.ServiceAWithAW: HiveMind configuration problem: Error building service spirit.core.base.microkernel.hivemind.ServiceAWithAW: Unable to find constructor applicable for autowiring.

When requesting service ´ServiceAWithoutAW´ (autowire-services="false") I got
exactly the same messages.
So, either hivemind (1.1 alpha 2) tries to autowire this service, which I switched 
off explicitly or the exception message is simply confusing.
However, what the exception doesn´t tell me is that the service ´moved.ServiceB´ could
not be found, which is the cause of the problem. Also the reported line number 14 does
not point to line with <service>moved.ServiceB</service> but the line above.
