This has always seemed > wrong to me. How would you else do it? Lookup methods? Either way (push or pull) you're committing to a level of dependency. A constructor argument or a setter is better than depndency on some lookup class IMO. What I like is that I can see my dependencies (those that matter) and I can easely mock them when unit testing. Keeping dependencies in the class and not the interface is in most cases best practise.

I will try it out tomorrow and get back to you with feedback. /Jeppe ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
