Note, you do not need to use XML when using Spring. While that's a
default choice for many developers, I will almost always use autowire
feature + programmatic bean factory manipulation + custom annotations to
drive the dependency injection. Why not let developers choose which IOC
mechanism to use?
The problem with IOC container integration is that many of the things
configured using IOC are not serializable. For instance, in many cases
the example below should be written as:
class MyForm extends Form {
@Dependency("myDaoName")
private transient MyDAO foo;
}
So, Wicket's IOC integration should be able to re-inject dependencies
whenever the component is deserialized.
