Hi Jan. I'm not really convinced so far as the term 'bean' was only choosen by the Spring people because it's Java.. My opinion is that things should stay where they belong to. Beans belong to Java. I could imagine to find a more common name like 'object' or 'component'. But 'object' is just too common and 'component' is unfortunately already used for another thing. But I will listen for other opinions about that. On the other hand this is only a draft, an idea how to provide a IoC solution with symfony.
