I think I understand the issue. For whatever reasons, policy or resistence to Spring itself, one cannot just add Spring to an existing system.

I did this once. I could not add Spring to a...

Minor quibble. The changelog has a 'typo':
"JuergenPackage org.springframework.jndi"

This was discussed in the forums before.
For example, http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=18083&highlight=strategy+pattern

Did you see this article that presents an approach to a dynamic configuration of data source? http://blog.interface21.com/main/2007/01/23/dynamic-datasource-routing/

1. Maybe you can put the jar's app context file in the jars unique classpath location. So, if your jar's main class is a.b.c then you would put the context definitions at a/b/c in the jar. An...

I have unit tests that use Spring and have no issues, but I don't use BasicConfigurator.

Maybe these threads are relevent:

In normal log4j use, this indicates that log4j did not find one of its configuration files, like 'log4j.properties' or 'log4j.xml' in the classpath.

Jim:

Yes, messaging could be much heavier. However, A while back I did a little prototyping with the ESB approach, using Mule, seemed relatively easy to use, and lighter. This would hide some of...

Did you consider using Messaging instead of folders and files? You could even use a timer service to just kick the whole thing off.

News article on Mule's roadmap: Spring, OSGi, Virtualization, Eclipse IDE, and so forth.

You could do it with a postprocessor.

The existing Spring books are still valuable since they cover the fundamentals of Spring very well. Also, since Spring is backward compatible with earlier versions, the books are still usable as a...

Programmatically you can do it by creating RootBeanDefinition objects and then registering these into the context, registerBeanDefinition(.....).

Perhaps I read what I wanted into them. But, I tend to agree with the ones who said the non-xml was not easier to read. Also, the Ant developer did mention that XML is more resiliant to versioning....

Some have bemoaned the fact that beans are usually configured using XML. (Yup, I know, there is programmatic, custom, etc.) I was reminded of this when I saw this interesting thread regarding a...

See http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=27990

Basically, I started the timer with autostart off.

Unless I'm missing something in your question, this is the way Spring should behave. The init-method attribute is the way to designate a method to invoke when a bean is instantiated after properties...

Other references are the various resources regarding the forthcoming Spring OSGi. See:

Spring package: org.springframework.osgi (in sandbox)
Colyer blog post: ...

Interesting problem if the beans cannot be specified as depended (for use of DI) and you also can't use depends-on.

Use afterPropertiesSet to set an external resource or state holding bean; use...

Your right, I missed that. I was probably thinking of the harder problem.

there are some forum threads where propertyplaceholder configurators are used for this. That is, put these environment variables into property files that override those in the Spring context files.

Arthur:

That approach requires that bean2 have a 'setstringValue' setter method. I thought berserksangr did not have that.

That is exactly the view I currently hold and mentioned in a previous post. Granted I am an AOP newbie, just read the book "aspectj in action" and various articles and even did some aop (or...

Perhaps I misunderstand the question, but essentially your application will have some kind of main entry point. In that entry point you load the application context. Of course, some object or...

About EJB:
I don't think Spring was created to replace EJBs. Perhaps, Spring allows easier use of EJBs or relegates them to a narrower nitch. Spring has to work in existing solutions that use...
