Response to: Avalon, IoC, and other fun
The gist of why I prefer picoContainer or Spring over Avalon is purely because I dislike coupling my application code to supporting frameworks. I do appreciate that IoC is also used for lifecycle management and configuration control, however the underlying principle remains the same - don't call us, we'll call you. I will be doing and article looking at one of the IoC containers in more depth to explore some of these other uses - when I find time!
