Like fbaube, i'm wondering what spring brings to rife that rife
doesn't already do?
Atm, Rife only allows string injection, not object injection. So
yes, here we still need any IoC containers such as Spring, Pico...
And as Rife already has a Spring participant...
That's actually not entirely correct. RIFE supports injection of any
kind of object and will try its best to convert between types. RIFE
however supports nothing like a reference factory. We actually split
up IoC in the two important actions:
* injection
* reference provision
Providing the references is done through participants at this time,
since each participant has the capability of returning a value
according to a key. You can code a reference factory participant
yourself very easily without using any IoC container. Just return the
values from a pre-populated map, and that's it.
There is a Spring participant for integration into existing apps, but
also because it's a damn fine reference factoring and dependency
resolver.
In one of the next versions I still think it's good to implement what
is described in the URL you mention.
