I think instead of using the âgetRegisteredâ to retrieve a bean across modules, we could take advantage of the application context hierarchic that CloudStack already has. To use it as Spring singletons and to plan the changes, we would need to know in which modules those objects will be needed. CloudStack already has a module hierarchic, so it would be a matter mapping the modules that will need those objects and them finding a nice spot to put those objects. For that we might even create another module (not sure yet). First things first, do you have a mapping of the modules/objects that need those policies? Something visual would be great :)
