Component Adapter -- The missing Methods :)

Typically in my usage of PicoContainer I end up with an adapter chain that is fairly deep.

JMX -> Caching -> MyCustomComponentAdapters -> CICA

I find that I'm wanting two methods:

1 - ComponentAdapter.swapInstantiatingAdapter(InstantiatingComponentAdapter newMethod);

This would save me from having to recreate the entire ComponentAdapterChain for the few times I actually need setter injection. And since in my environment, clients can plug-in their own components, clients wouldn't even be ABLE to accurately recreate the component adapter chain.

The result would be something like this:

ComponentAdapter ca = pico.registerComponentImplementation(NeedsSetterInjection.class);
ComponentAdapter setterAdapter = new ComponentAdapter(.... all the appopriate args);
ca.swapInstantiatingAdapter(setterAdapter);

2 - ComponentAdapter.getAdapterOfType(Class adapterType) throws AdapterNotInChainException

Because in:

JMX -> Caching -> MyCustomComponentAdapters -> CICA

There is no "real" way of getting to MyCustomComponentAdapters for any final modifications and tweaking.

Obviously both of these items would break the current Interface – so I'm at a loss on how to get what I want out of it. So I decided to file it as a wish unless someone comes up with an idea on how to integrate it.
