It has no support for complex types (e.g. java.io.File). A context object created using directives prepared by an assembler can contain directives for the creation of basic AND complex types (see earlier example and ContextFactory source). I can write directives for creation of objects with multiple argument constructors - which basically means that minimal effort is needed.
