It's definitely a hack. Again, I'm coming from a slightly different world. In spring, you could easily define a property-based dependency without having to use constructor injection. I'd love to hear that I just missed something in the documentation. I'm not averse to constructor injection, it just wasn't my first instinct when I designed this application so it'd require a lot of refactoring to implement. > > This makes > > sense for the logger, but I do that frequently, for > example, my domain > > objects (I'm not using Active Record, I use iBATIS) have private > > properties that refer to their DAO objects, and those DAOs are > > obtained from the container in the same way (i.e., > > ApplicationContext.Current[typeof(IListingDao)] as IListingDao). > > Well, this is also strage, but I undertand that you want your > models to have rich support for persistence operations.

I essntially went with a Service Locator pattern for my DAOs to compensate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
