Re: Barracuda: Automatic creation of ListenerFactories?

Well, you can avoid the creating the inner classes with:

specifyLocalEventInterests(new 
EventConnectorFactory(DoUpdateAccountHandler.class), DoUpdateAccount.class);

Your handler doesn't need to be an inner class in this case.  Of course it 
can, but you have a choice.

Other than that, I think Christian had some thoughts about possibly getting 
rid of the need for specifyLocalEventInterests() altogether....at least I 
think that is what it was?  Well, I'll let him comments about that.
