[Building Sakai] wiring up potentially null services

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Yeah, I think you want to look at this code:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/entitybroker/trunk/utils/src/java/org/sakaiproject/entitybroker/util/spring/BeanCollectorAutoRegistrar.java

You can use the same technique or actually use it directly if you like.
Hope that helps!
