I think a container should not be necessary, if ApacheDS is embedded.
In this case, every additional dependency will add burden to those who

I thought this was basically the idea of using the Spring Framework.
Back three years ago, when Spring was injected into ADS, I think this
was just because it was "SO COOL !!!"
In the Spring courses for the customer I work for (a training company) I
use ADS as an example and tell the participants that we have chosen it
because it is not invasive.
Now, what is bothering me the more is different :
- how to ease the Studio team work when dealing with the conf
- how to stabilize the configuration to avoid rewritting the doco every
month
- and more important : how to help users dealing with configuration !
I think that point #3 goes well with point #1. When you are a beginner,
a good GUI helps.
I totally support your aims. All three of them.
