Thx for the share of knowledge Konstantin. I'd need to read up about pico to be able to understand more. :)

I think the codes are clean and very well written. I like the way it uses the Factory interface as callbacks The uses of generics. Separation of internal and external apis (eg. ExternalContext and Context / InternalContext, Factory vs InternalFactory ). The callbacks are nicely used. Nice extension like FinalizableReferenceQueue that does clean up upon gc. Use of adapters pattern / transformer (hopefully i got this right) like Function. Resolving cyclic dependncy using Proxy etc. :) > I do not like idea of "scope" - it's kind looks > "springy" to me.

I am more used to the "scope" because of Spring. Pico does have a interesting way of doing things. I guess its like a composite / chain kindof thing, but I'll need to read up about pico to understand more. ;) > There are a lot of such adapters also for remote > access ( just register it with interface and backend > url, and your action gets webservice bean injected > without knowing it ) etc. The same would work with > ejb / jndi lookup or whatever. I see, i guess its something like Spring's FactoryBean/ProxyFactoryBean. I guess in Guice, one could registor a custom factory using ContainerBuilder, but I might be totally wrong. :) Unfortunately I can't make it to JavaPolis. what a pitty. If you decided to have a blog, do let me know. I could be reached at (tm_jee at yahoo dot co do uk).

But i am still a beginner so I > might talk nonsense... :P Well, I'm pretty used to DI / IoC containers ( being pico commiter ;) ) I looked at javadocs ( there is no real docs besides it ) and sources, and it looks that it is really new, and there is not so much there. I do not like idea of "scope" - it's kind looks "springy" to me. Scope can be obtained easily by using container hierarchy ( like nanocontainer does - it registers 3 container hierarchy with managed lifecycles, or possibly more like "one container per directory / package " ) Though this code did not made it into S2 codebase yet pending issue with source headers ( and WW-1370 ), it is usable. Storage of wiring information in annotations is a nice idea, but not really flexible ( Is it posssible to manipulate annotations on a class, or are they bound at compile time? ) Pico uses "component adapters" instead, which can be ( and usually are ) chained to specify some really weird behaviour like: (constructor injection) -> (parameters via setter) -> ( aop) -> (cache/threadlocal) There are a lot of such adapters also for remote access ( just register it with interface and backend url, and your action gets webservice bean injected without knowing it ) etc. The same would work with ejb / jndi lookup or whatever. So, there is definitely no need to invent yet another DI container for xwork unless you have fun of it ;) > Have you got a blog? Maybe blog about your findings > would be nice. I'll definitely subscribe to it. not yet. being a hausmate I'm definitely enitled to one at blogs.codehaus.org, but I did not figured out how to activate it yet ;) If you go to javapolis, we can surely met at dinner ;) regards, ----[ Konstantin Pribluda http://www.pribluda.de ]---------------- Still using XDoclet 1.x?
