Sure, I'd be happy to. LIke many others in the Java-ecosytem, I'm a big fan of IOC. So, in order to have a small, lightweight IOC library, I wrote SimpleIOC (commons-ioc?) which features:
- An XML configurable bean factory - Simple bean dependency resolution - A simple implementation of JSR330 - Hooks for adding additional constructor filters. (It's been used in other code, with cglib, to implement custom annotations) The source code is currently here: https://github.com/khubla/simpleioc I used Commons-BeanUtils, and Apache CXF in writing it. After looking over what's currently in the Commons, i wondered if perhaps a simple IOC framework would be a useful addition. This piece of code is far too small (I think) to qualify as a full-scale Apache project, but perhaps it could find a home in the Commons.
