This is a dependency and configuration management framework that allows multiple forms
of configuration via a plugin model with a primary focus on the
Dependency
Injection / Inversion of Control (IoC) design pattern. The framework comes with a
default BeanShell plugin for configuring the components.
This is a proxy-based solution that allows constructor-injection, method-injection and
combo-injection (a combination of constructor- and method-injection techniques).
This is not an AOP
solution and hence there is no built-in solution for interceptors or
mixins; there are lots of other good frameworks for this. However, there is a hook to allow
proxy-based AOP solutions (like dynaop) to be plugged-in, to weave the components.
Why?
I wanted a lean framework with minimum dependencies and least resistance to manage
application dependencies and configurations, and Gravity was born.
