I've found that using Spring in legacy code works out pretty well. I don't have to rewrite the entire code base to benefit from using it. It plays nicely with others. Anybody who would pay a high priced consultant just to rewrite existing code to make it fashionable deserves to be fleeced. Who says refactoring to IoC has to be an all-or-none proposition?

They become self documenting, help/force me to break concepts into truly independent concerns, keep my code small and smart. Yep, gonna need all of that and more.

I've been burned on this where *half* of the conversion from monolithic to IoC took place and then I got dragged off before I could finish the rest. The end result was good testing of a bunch of less important things, but code that was very confusing to everyone else. Proper IoC is lots of interfaces but not many abstract classes. And I don't autogenerate anything (at build time, runtime is another matter). Dion --- did you draw this or find it? Hits a little close to home. IoC is much easier when its the initial design.

Dion — did you draw this or find it?
