Hi Oscar,

I saw you raised a PR on this a good while back.  Is the idea that factory methods be restricted only to domain services?

thx
Dan

> Factory Methods should be able to be identified as that.
> It could be useful, for example, when executing any action.
> For any param of any type, Apache Isis could offer the option to create a new instance by executing an action that both return that type and has been identified as a Factory Method.
> An example of defining a Factory Method could be:
> {code:java}
> class Concert {
>     @Action(factoryMethod=true)
>     public Concert someAction() {
>           return new Concert();
>     }
> }
> {code}
