simple-ioc

A simple inversion of control container written in Java

Implementation Details

This is a proof of concept that's mainly intended to show how a minimal IoC container might work. Configuration is done with a combination of Java executable code and annotations. The unit test suite shows how the API works at some level of detail.

Commentary
