Re: Services and packaging dependencies

Mark, Gregg: Thanks to both of you for the reply, very helpful to know
we aren't that far off in our approach.

I have a follow-up question--do you suggest the same strategy when
using a third-party library where a method returns an instance of a
class which is not final? It seems that unless you're sure you know
what the possible subclasses are, you either have to risk it, or else
make sure the service API uses only classes you control (what it does
internally is another issue). Any thoughts on that?


Thanks
Patrick
