I'm pretty sure *this* one won't turn out to already be in there!
http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/IoC+support+for+non-element+objects
"Spring lite" for projects that just need dependency injection of
non-element beans (injecting Datasource objects into DAOs, DAOs into
service objects, service objects into elements, etc.) but not any of
Spring's more advanced capabilities. I am using Spring on one of my
projects but on my other one it seemed too heavyweight so I wrote this
instead.
It is nowhere near as flexible or powerful as Spring but it starts up
way faster -- Spring takes a good 5 seconds to start up on my laptop but
this finishes in a few milliseconds. Those 5-second pauses add up when
you're restarting the server a lot!
Now, what would be super fantastically awesomely cool would be if this
dependency injection capability was built into RIFE. This would be very
cool because, since RIFE manages the lifecycle of these objects and
knows that they are singleton instances, they could then be reloaded on
the fly by RIFE's spiffy classloader. That would cut way, way down on
container restarts.
