But is this a component decision?
It is the component that is declaring the requirement for a context
value - I'm not sure I like the idea of a component saying to a
container "I want a common classloader" - as opposed to a component
declaring to a container that it wants a classloader. It should be up
to the container to build the classloader such that common classes are
part of the classloader hierachy.
With every declaration of a context key that is recognized - we are
expanding the defintion of component - and its something I'm currently
struggling with. If I were to ignore scopes for a moment and I imagined
that a component declares that it needs a working directory - it should
be the container that determines the working directory. I'm struggling
with the fact that in actual solutions we have in operation today - the
container can manage scopes privately - the component does not need to
know about this.
Is the introduction of scopes a violation of IOC?
(I'm just thinking out loud again)
