I was actually talking about expanding it out like Chris mentioned. I don't see any reason why those who want to use the container that Struts is using shouldn't be able to. Since the annotations and APIs will be standard across Guice and Spring with the JSR, it seems like it would be possible to allow the application and framework to use the same DI container, just different Injectors.
The default could be Guice but allow Spring to be pluggable (or even discoverable). As long as the internals of Struts are compliant, it should work fine. This also provides the benefit of configuration reduction in web.xml and a more comprehensive solution. It would also get Struts out of the business of building objects and requiring additional configuration and plugins for different DI containers. I would guess it would clean up the double ObjectFactory issues as well. -bp On Dec 1, 2009, at 11:31 AM, Musachy Barroso wrote: > this is not related to the application itself, you can still use any > IoC you want.
