Do I understand correctly that the writer's main concern is that DI configuration is done in XML files, or that configuration takes place at run-time, instead of compile-time?
I also don't get what the author's issues are. Half of the article seems to be against XML configuration, and I don't come from a Java background but it seems that there are containers for Java that do not necessarily require an XML configuration, or is it not the case?
Hmm... guess the author is not familiar with @Autowired, @Resource, @Component... etc. You don't need XML fun. And, he complains about 2 of the same type... behold @Autowired(name="bar"), @Autowired(name="bah"). Miracle? No, just DI.
