And that's exactly what you do.
The middleware is just a message routing, transaction processing scaffold, 
within which you build a modularised application.  It also provides some 
support API hooks to expose knowledge of other domains etc to your 
application (which is why the CM design and Goldwater Domains blur slightly).

I'm putting together a multipart document describing the steps to 
enlightenment with regards to building an application within Goldwater.
It's very lightweight and straight-forward - a bedtime read!

Part 1 out soon.
