I thought that too. On the other hand, you *have* declared it as a field

where the container should set the value. So it's not like you're not 
getting what you asked for.

In a way that is not possible - the container has to know some
things about a component. Its dependencies, for one.

What I am trying to achieve is to use attributes to make the
container carry out specific actions - i.e. set this field to
that, and so on.

So, the container will not know anything about the internals 
that you haven't declared with attributes. This isn't that
different from declaring it in an XML file.
