To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/540476#540476 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, If have a simple POJO like this: package mypkg; import java.io.PrintStream; class Foo {      private PrintStream printStream;      public void setPrintStream(PrintStream out) {           this.printStream = out;      }      public void run() {           printStream.println("test");      } } Now how would I inject the System.out into the bean in deployment? If do this, it gives me error on creating  JavaLangSystem bean, which make sense since it's constructor is private.    <bean name="JavaLangSystem" access-mode="FIELDS" />    <bean name="Foo" class="mypkg.Foo">      <property name="printStream"><inject bean="JavaLangSystem" property="out"/></property>      <start method="run" />    </bean> So is there way I can quickly inject a static field in a class that has private constructor? I do see some example that use a value-factory and a provider class like here http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun... http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/demos/microcontainer/trun..., but it seems too involved to get a simple thing like this to be  injected. Did I missed something?
