Call-Method Command in a Module Should Check for Service in Parent if No Module-Specific ColdSpring Config File is Found

It would be helpful if the framework could check the parent ColdSpring? config for a service that is called via the call-method command if a module-specific ColdSpring? config file doesn't exist.

If you are creating a module that has no ColdSpring?-managed objects of its own, but do want to use ColdSpring?-managed objects in the parent application, you still have to set up a basic ColdSpring? Mach-II property in your module, and point it to an (essentially) empty ColdSpring? config file. If the framework could check for the service referenced in the call-method command in the parent app, then there would be no need for this.

Brian, I hope you don't mind but I adapted your blog post into the wiki to explain the problem on the call-method page.
