- A Brief Introduction to IoC by Sam Newman - [Clicks: 164]
This article aims to introduce the notion of Inversion Of Control (IoC) and how it can streamline application design. We will look at the different types of IoC frameworks. By showing how IoC can result in simpler, more flexible code, you'll also be able to see why IoC has attracted so much interest of late.

In the Java community there's been a rush of lightweight containers that help to assemble components from different projects into a cohesive application. Underlying these containers is a common pattern to how they perform the wiring, a concept they refer under the very generic name of "Inversion of Control". In this article I dig into how this pattern works, give it the more specific name of "Dependency Injection", and contrast it with the Service Locator alternative. The choice between them is less important than the principle of separating configuration from use.

There are a lot of containers in the java world. I found many developers consider container development to be something of an arcane art left to a handful of systems-level programmers who do the complex stuff so the rest of the world can focus on things like business needs. ... This paper takes you on a pragmatic tour, full of samples, through the internals of your average container.
[This paper is a work in progress. Please go away now and check back later (it will be announced on my weblog when its supposed to be readable, and probably again if it ever really gets finished).]

Weblogs:- Inversion of Control Containers by Mike Spille - [Clicks: 106]
Inversion of Control containers (aka IoC) have been all of the rage in the past year. You can hardly turn around on the web without hitting somebody somewhere touting some IoC solution/framework/silver bullet. This blog entry talks about my own experiences with IoC over the past 4 months, and compares my own viewpoint of what IoC should be to what's available in three popular IoC implementations: Hivemind, PicoContainer, and Spring. Examples are shown based (very loosely!) on my own recent work, so that we're at least partially grounded in reality.
