IoC containers have arrived big time and now are very much in mainstream software development - EJB3 has IoC features (no more JNDI lookup of resources and EJBs are required - these can be injected by container using Java 5 annotations - although JNDI lookup is supported). Time to read on IoC containers and in particular Spring. Geronimo guys are planning to use Spring for assembling Geronimo components - interesting. J2EE server uses Spring and Spring uses J2EE container services - that shows power of IoC and its applicability in developing flexible and loosely coupled systems.
