Description

(Sorry, because sending email to [e-mail] can not make me subscribe, so i post it here)

Currently, one service can only have one interface specifiled.

Inside ProxyBuilder.java, the proxy class built only implements this "major" interface. This behavior is coded as such:

public ProxyBuilder(String type, ServicePoint point)
{
...
_classFab.addInterface(_serviceInterface);
...
}

public void addServiceMethods(String indirection)
{
...
Method[] methods = _serviceInterface.getMethods();
for (int i = 0; i < methods.length; i++) ...
...
}

Because of this behavior, if there is a class:

class ServiceABImpl implements ServiceA, ServiceB

This class will be wrapped inside a proxy class, but the proxy class can only implement one interface, that makes the usage of this class/service inconvienent.

So, there is a wish, wish that more than one interfaces can be specified to one service.
