Outside of framework building (of course) my more mundane tasks: Building DAO services around Hibernate, to reduce code clutter.
Building a deferred job execution service, to process operations in the background. Integrating with significant subsystems, like Quartz. Creating tools to allow page content to be rendered and sent as email. What I like about the IoC approach is that you naturally tend to decompose things properly (or at least, it gives you the option). That mail sending bit is in two pieces: one that's mostly about Tapestry: rendering a Block, capturing the result, then deferring to a second service to do the actual mailing. The second service is a wrapper around javax.mail.Session and Transport, and encapsulates those two ugly APIs. The job executor allows the app to continue running, with the mail sending deferred to a pooled thread. IoC means you can easily break your problems into small and individually testable pieces, and isolate difficult external dependencies ... and the container is responsible for assembling everything at runtime.
