subscribing with hard reference

[aappddeevv]

Is there a way to subscribe with a hard versus weak reference?

Currently, subscribing with hard references is not part of the functionality. I think that maintain strong references to the beans that listen for messages (and therefore managing their lifecycle) is the responsibility of the application that uses the bus and not of the bus itself. Besides, it's quite easy to wrap MBassador into another class and just maintain strong references there, if necessary. But I would be interested in your usecase.
