Jochen,
1.) usually you will have an application (for example web application) that
is responsible for creating the HiveMind registry.
The application can build a complete registry just by loading multiple
annotated module classes from the classpath:
AnnotatedRegistryBuilder builder = new AnnotatedRegistryBuilder();
TypedRegistry registry = builder.constructRegistry(ModuleA.class,
ModuleB.class);
(There is an autoloading mechanism too, but it's not in place for
annotated modules
today.)
So it's up to you where you place the annotated module classes as long as
they
reside in the classpath together with the hivemind jars.
2.) Define two annotated module classes for jar A and B and load them like
described
above in a common registry.
The autowiring mechanism that is used in the calculator example
does have access to all services defined by all modules that are known to
the registry.
The same is true for the service-Method which can be used for looking up
service references:
public Calculator getCalculatorService()
{
CalculatorImpl result = new CalculatorImpl();
result.setAdder(service(ServiceInB.class));
return result;
}
In the annotated class of module A just specify the type of a service that
is defined
in module B and HiveMind will handle it correctly.
