dependency injection and beans

[jeeper]

Hello,

Ive got a newbie question.
If you develope a bigger project by using spring - do you then every object create by using beans?!
I mean, do you avoid to write in a class "Object o = new Object()", no matter in what context?

Im a little bit confused, because when I initialize every object using beans my applicationContext.xml is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.....

thanks!

hi,

1) If you want to use other features like AOP on these beans then offcourse these beans have to be Spring managed.

2) You can always modularise or seperate your application-context.xml and configure it according to load all these files.

Hope this helps.

You are asking about dependency injection, right? So does your class have dependencies that you want to inject? If so, define it as a Spring bean. If it does not, then don't...
